Announce : Release of gnatgpr 0.32, access to GPR project information.

[David Sauvage]

GNATGPR is an Ada 2005 GPL software, it allows the user to do simple
information request on GNAT GPR project files, like for example :

    * Give all included projects.
    * Give all included sources (transitive or not).
    * Give all included source directories (transitive or not).
    * Give all main files.
    * Give all main directories.
    * Give all included object paths.
    * Give project zombies (duplicated .o or .ali when a source file
are moved from one project to another).

There are 2 ways of accessing those services :

    * In a shell using the gnatgpr binary.
    * In Ada using the GNAT_GPR package specification interface.

GNATGPR is based on :

    * A modified version of the GNAT GPL 2008 (GPL) compiler front-
end.
          o It gets his own Namet and so on.
          o It can extracts some especially craft comments in the gpr
project file.
    * AdaControl (GMGPL), for option analyzis.
          o Only the Options_Analyzer package have been re-used
(without any change).
    * AUnit 2.03 (GPL), for unit testing.

Thanks to all the people behind those projects.

GNATGPR roadmap :

    * Selection of the next gnatgpr engine (GCC FSF 4.4/GPRBuild/GNAT
GPL 2010/GNATColl).
    * Shift to GPL v3.
    * Documentation.
    * GNATGPR production for non-GNAT Ada compilers.
    * GNAT_GPR package interface clean-up.
    * Use of Debian AUnit version.
    * Non transitive analysis for main files, binary directories and
object paths.
    * Multi languages processing.
    * Multi root-projects processing.
    * Comply to Debian packaging guidelines (removal of debian
directory at upstream level, ...).
