   package Dictionaries is new Ada.Containers.Hashed_Maps
             (Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Unbounded_String,
              Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Unbounded_String,
              Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Hash,
              equivalent_keys => Ada.Strings.Unbounded."=");

For a full example, search "Texture_Name_Mapping" in:

http://globe3d.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/globe3d/src/globe_3d-textures.adb?revision=78&view=markup
