Project files are for building. That's only part of a project. You need 
to create distrib tarball, launch the tests, install files, build and 
install documentation... All this is better handled by makefile. I also 
found the makefile good as it contains the extact command to launch for 
building, installing...

Even for building I prefer:

    $ make

Than to have to remember the actual command line to use:

    $ gnat make -XLIBRARY_TYPE=static -XBUILD=Debug -P my_project
