Thank you! Its useful to know which ones are the ones to change.

I've found something strange; there is a function called Program_Name
which (according to comments) should do what I want, but doesn't.
Its comments say it should put the same prefix/suffix onto the
first string that remain when the calling program has its
base-name (eg gnat, gnatmake) removed. Doesn't seem to work
on a VERY rudimentary test, but I need to identify that properly.

I'm working on the lang/gcc47 port. That gnat-aux may help a lot,
thanks!
