To clarify, according to the gnat documentation, only package bodies
need to be compiled.  When the body is coompiled the spec will also
get coompiled; therefore if I compile the spec and then turn around
and compile the body, then the first compile of the spec was a waste
of time.  However, if you have a package spec that has no body, then
the spec needs to be compiled.  I was hoping to find a simple way of
giving a command that would compile bodies only except when there was
only a spec.  I had tought about the above solution, but I was hoping
there might be a simpler solution that I can use within our build
scripts.

Thanks,
