Makefiles are terrible in-general -- but (/especially/) the ones which 
are distributed w/ AdaCore's libs: they  *really* tend to assume a *nix 
environment.

Making me use a *nix environment layer like msys (or cygwin) to compile 
Ada, which is **supposed to be very cross-platform** is actually pretty 
stupid.
