I have started a lot of threads in the past few months. I feel like i might=
 be abusing this great resource.

I hope I am not thread-jacking......

I was just wondering why GNAT does not use GPR. I spent 30 minutes last wee=
k sorting files into folders. I don't understand how GNAT works but just do=
ing this gave me a rough outline of quite a lot of the project.  It would h=
elp a lot if the project was already sorted by it's developers.

Could a makefile not test for GPR and if present use it and if not dump all=
 the files somewhere else and call the makefile that is already written for=
 the project?

In a perfect world, if there was a little readme in each folder and folders=
 would be arranged by system, library etc and maybe folders like first stag=
e, second stage etc it would make it a lot easier to follow along with.

If the FSF had guidelines about folder layouts, then couldn't Adacore not j=
ust dump all the files in a folder to keep them happy before a commit? GNAT=
 GPL is also laid out with all files in one folder, I can't see a reason fo=
r this.
