This gnatwin.ads doesn't come from gnatwin that comes with GNAT, but 
from GNATCOM :-) (http://www.adapower.com/gnatcom/ and 
http://www.adapower.com/gnatcom/gnatwin.zip). Actually, I don't 
understand why it is used in the source, since the Win32Ada packages 
(those that you get by installing gnatwin-3.15p.exe and that are used by 
the remaining 99% of AdaGIDE source) could be used to the same effect.

Yes. Install GNATCOM, then either fiddle with some of its files (there 
are instructions somewhere in a text file in the AdaGIDE directory), or 
just remove gnatcom.ads and .adb (and possibly some other files) from 
the AdaGIDE directory and run gnatmake adagide, and I think this should 
be it.
