What, twist Ada to meet GNAT requirements, or change the procedures
in the foreign organization?  :-) :-) :-)

Well, one unit per file *is* o.K, if *files* of a single piece of text
are any good (they are, absent a better alternative). Did you notice
that every IDE abstracts files away? (C-c C-d is among my favorites.)

The old Ada problem again: Get a big budget...  My fairly recent
4 core machine should suffice for Ada, I hope, for the time
being. Alternatively, one could improve GNAT, -gnatep is there, it is
almost working, just not always, in particular with -m  ... ;-)

Compilation time changes when there are lots of generic instantiations
involved.

I'm moving parts from there to ordinary packages, which helps
in other ways, too.
