Obstensibly, gprbuild will recognize a "--db dir" switch and pass it
onto gprconfig when spawned (to add an additional knowledge base
directory), but i'm having trouble getting it to do so.  Gprbuild will
not complain about the switch (and even spit out an error if the
directory is invalid), but does not seems to invoke gprconfig with
it.  By turning on the verbosity, the gprconfig line (as invoked by
gprbuild) is quite clearly missing it, and consequently generates the
auto.cgpr from only the original KB.  If i manually run the gprconfig
line as generated by gprbuild, but add the --db switch, the
configuration file is generated as intended.

Is this a known defenciency, or is there an order the switches must be
in, or other 'gotcha' someone knows about?  I have tried most of the
obvious things to no avail.  (Gprbuild Pro 1.4.1, 20100106, Linux)
