	Yes you're right of course, that special exception is overkill with 
the LGPL, and I'll remove it asap. I was trying to be clear that
instantiating generics from the library doesn't make your work a
"derivative work" but rather a "work that uses the library", but I
believe that is covered in the LGPL, no? If not, then I think I have to 
change the release to "GPL with GNAT exception".
