1. How do you make a constant in Ada? Can I make one that is
computed, for example an integer, set to Milliseconds(something)?

2. How do you get options from the CL? I.e., how do you do the C
argv in Ada?

3. Is it possible to get the task *name* (from the code) into a
string, programatically? That way, a generic procedure could be
used to communicate from tasks, with Put_Line, and without having
to hard code the task name every time.

4. How do you exit Ada altogether? For example, if there are 3
tasks, and one solves the problem, how can I terminate the whole
application at once? (Rather than sending messages to all the
tasks, "OK, we're done looking!")

Cheers
