While the AARM does not state anything about how a compilation unit
and a file relate to each other, it does state that a compiler should
take a number of compilation units (see 10.1), this is even specified
in the EBNF (appendix P):

10.1.1:
compilation::=3D {compilation_unit}

GNAT provides this using gnatchop, there are messages from Robert
Dewar on this group about this.

Thanks,
Luke.
