Yes, indeed, we assume that people have make around, which
is why we don't supply a redundant copy. By the way GNAT
does not come with g++!

For this you just use the project features of gnatmake
(not yet available in 3.13p, but the latest version of
GNAT Pro has this capability, as does the GCC 3.x version
available at gnu.org).
