I think A.S.I.S. should ultimatly be moved right into the gcc cvs tree.

Creating a ASIS release for any working gnat is not that difficult. Just
fill the "gnat" directory with the sources from the release you like and
type "make".

Only one function has changed it's name and the version number is now stored
inside a C source.

Only I have not got a working gcc 3.4.

BTW: The project is looking for a Debian Release Technican ;-).

The A.S.I.S. from ACT has it's own test suite and some tools (gnatelim).
Also I have got adabrowse working.
