The easiest way of doing this would perhaps be to write a C program that emitted
an Ada module which containes the correct values for these and other constants.
An alternative would perhaps be to use Perl instead of C. However I suspect that
a C version will be easiest to handle. It should assure portability to other
operating systems as the values would always be correct.
