My project are about 50/50 Glide/GPS. Personally I find GPS great for
debugging, but for development Emacs still rules. For a start, the
Visual Studio style uses huge amounts of screen real estate.

In Carbon Emacs 22.0 I see ada-model.el at AdaCore 1.888, ada-xref.el
at AdaCode 1.181; while the 5.03a revisions are 1.202, 1.191 rsp.

The AdaCode source distributions of Glide contain the source of this
utility (convert-prj). Would be good to have an FSF release too.

The 5.03a release works fine with 4.0.0 (here).
