The problem is that I don't know how I could code with GPS while using a fi=
le with a different extension, because I will have to use a different exten=
sion for Ada source files, right?  I mean: since I will using an external p=
reprocessor, I will not be editing to edit an *.adb file directly, but inst=
ead I will be editing an "input file" that will be converted to the *.adb t=
hat `gnatmake` will compile in the end.  Therefore I will have no code comp=
letion, and clicking on compilation errors will bring me to a different fil=
e.
