I need to integrate an Ada source program that consists
of a few compilation units. When I want one unit per file,
then, usually, I can call gnatchop and be done.

However, the program is using preprocessor symbols that
I wish to keep. gnatchop can parse source files using
different characters sets, but apparently it cannot parse
files that use preprocessor symbols, including GNAT ones.

My "solutions" are not solutions, I feel. Either

- I call gnatprep with the original program as input and use
   the output as input to gnatchop. I loose the preprocessor
    symbols in all resulting compilation units,

or

- I do manual labor.

Neither is working well, really. Are there other options?
