From what I recall, GnatChop has always had a 'special exception' to
always krunch Ada.*, System.*, Gnat.*, etc.  This made some sense back
when I was using GNAT on DOS, since it meant GNAT library files would
always have the same names.  I don't know why it's still there (DOS
doesn't seem all that big a market for GNAT these days, and I don't
know if there are any other ports with the same filename limitation).

I think I recall Robert Dewar once explaining that this was part of
the "rules" GnatChop uses, but if it happened that was long long ago.
