Re: Standard Ada Preprocessor (conclusions)

I didn't say you couldn't get there. I said you couldn't get there in a 
way you knew was portable across all compliant Ada compilers. Dragging 
the pile of code over to some other system means someone has to then 
figure out what are all the system dependencies & deal with some 
alternate mechanism for selecting what files go into the build. Also, it 
sometimes seems like overkill to have to manage separate piles of files 
if the problem is rather small & self-contained.

Remember that "Ada /= Gnat" and "Ada_Development_Environment /= Linux" 
and "Ada_Target /= x86" Sometimes there is a lot of variation in where 
the code has to go.
