Dale says
<<Gnat does have a program library, just as Intermetrics also has
a program library. The library just happens to be implemented as
a series of source code files, and not some mysterious black box
piece of software.
List through the requirements of such a library, and you'll find
that the source code model can meet them.>>
Actually we really should stop using the term program library, since it
is an Ada 83 term.
Also, the compilation environment in GNAT is not quite a set of sources,
there is additional information, including the gnat.adc file, and ali
and object files in some cases (you can have a consistent compialtion
environment in which some of the units are precompiled, and their
sources are not available).
