Which ASIS applications?

I would like it if e.g. gnatstub did behave like this: I'm trying to
build GCC 4.8.0 with the ASIS GPL 2012 now, and there are flags that I
would like to pass to Asis.Implementation.Initialize to make the darned
thing work at all; specifically, "-wv" would mean "don't try to do the
strict check on compiler/tool compatibility which results in a
constraint error if using the FSF tree".

Of course, it may be that GNAT GPL 2013 will remove this problem...
