Re: GNAT subunit naming

[Per Sandberg <per.sandberg@bredband.net>]

An advice on the road, breaking the gcc/gnat naming conventions may look 
like a good idea in the beginning but I could guarantee that I will give 
you plenty of headache down the road.
So even if the component I was building contained 100+ files and they 
was stored i a VC system where renaming was a real pain in ass (it takes 
16 hours just for the renaming) I would take that pain front up without 
hesitating instead of having a lot of pain down the road (been there 
done that).
