Hmmmm. I wonder if MetroWerks would release information on how to interface
with their code generators? It might be possible to write a new version
of gigi to translate gnat trees to metrowerks trees (or the equivelent)...
it doesn't look like gnat is too dependant on the gcc source code, except
for a handful of system-specific .c files.
