Also, gnatchop[1] has the flags

  -r       generate Source_Reference pragmas referencing original source file

and

  -w       overwrite existing filenames

which can be used to maintain a multiple-unit source file. I can't see
how to make GPS support this, and I can't find whether AdaGIDE will
because it's Windows-only; for Emacs, I wrote a minor mode[2] which runs
gnatchop -w -r whenever a gnatchop-mode buffer is saved.
