Well, not quite.
There is an ada-reformat-batch.el file now supplied as part of the new
emacs ada-mode (2.21 and up, I believe; the latest is 2.23). This
program will (obviously) reformat a whole group of files.
As a style comment: Reformatting lots of (presumably already working)
Ada code is a time waster. If you want to get a uniform appearance,
just reformat the specs. The less you touch stable code, the higher
the reliability (ideal being touch count = 0 :-).
