Announce : Release of gnatgpr 0.33, access to GPR project information.

[David Sauvage]

GNATGPR is an Ada 2005 GPL software, it allows the user to do simple
information request on GNAT GPR project files, like for example :

    - Give all included projects.
    - Give all included sources (transitive or not).
    - Give all included source directories (transitive or not).
    - Give all main files.
    - Give all main directories.
    - Give all included object paths.
    - Give project zombies (duplicated .o or .ali when a source file
are moved from one project to another).

There are 2 ways of accessing those services :

    - In a shell using the gnatgpr binary.
    - In Ada using the GNAT_GPR package specification interface.

GNATGPR is based on :

    - A modified version of the GNAT GPL 2008 (GPL) compiler front-
end.
          - It gets his own Namet and so on.
          - It can extracts some especially craft comments in the gpr
project file.
    - AdaControl (GMGPL), for option analyzis.
          - Only the Options_Analyzer package have been re-used
(without any change).
    - AUnit 3 (GPL), for unit testing.

GNATGPR works successfully on :

    - x86/Linux (GNAT GPL 2010).
    - x86/Linux (GCC FSF 4.4.3 Ubuntu 10.04).
    - x86/Mac OS X (GNAT GPL 2010).
    - Sparc/Solaris (GNAT Pro 6.1.2).


GNATGPR roadmap :

    - Selection of the next gnatgpr engine (GCC FSF 4.4/GPRBuild/GNAT
GPL 2010/GNATColl).
    - Shift to GPL v3.
    - Documentation.
    - GNATGPR production for non-GNAT Ada compilers.
    - GNAT_GPR package interface clean-up.
    - Non transitive analysis for main files, binary directories and
object paths.
    - Multi languages processing.
    - Multi root-projects processing.
    - Comply to Debian packaging guidelines (removal of debian
directory at upstream level, ...).
