This is clearly a Microsoft Windows/DOS bug, NOT a gnat bug. When
Windows 95 changed to daylight savings time (the first OS to offer to do
this for me, by the way!), the modification time of the files in
adainclude (as reported by Explorer) CHANGED ! This is NOT reasonable
behavior!

It may be that gnat can provide a workaround, but it would be far more
reasonable to demand a fix from Microsoft. This can't possibly be the
first time this problem has occured!
