Well, this would definitely count as a wish:

It'd be nice to (somehow) be able to specify the command used to
compile.  I can think of two uses:

1)  To GnatChop a file and compile a main unit (perhaps the unit with
the same basic name as the file).  The compiler errors should be
output, so that should still work.  [I currently use a .BAT file which
Chops into a subdirectory, compiles in that directory, and returns the
executable.  This helps to keep things clean.]

2)  To check in the source (to CVS, etc.) before each compile.

I haven't a clue how this would be implemented/specified, but it would
be nice (even if there were restrictions).
