I wrote a small tool to create Ada packages, that I use in my "make check".
It eases package creation with precise dependencies.

For example:

    @create_pkg P1 spec -with P2 -with P3

will create:

    with P2;
    with P3;

    -- created by Create_Pkg v1.0
    package P1;
       null;
    end P1;

All my tests are based on those minimal packages, and my biggest test 
only involve half of them.
This is why I don't feel comfortable to release something without at 
least once real size testing.

OK, but I want to reach a minimal useability level.
I'm not sure it's already the case, I have to think about it.
