But wait!  There's more!

We noticed a similar problem in the project we were doing.  It was
clear there was a lurking .ads file around, but it wasn't in the
directory.  We were a little confused until we realized that it was
finding it in one of the directories in the ADA_INCLUDE_PATH !

This isn't a slam against GNAT -- it's just a wierd error message
(which they always strive to make more understandable).  I had
intended to send this in as a "please fix?" request.  I'm sure RObert
will comment on this, but I"m going to cc report@gnat.com for this
post.
