When I tried (GNAT-GPL), the static library build didn't seem to work
so well (the .ali files weren't read-only, and the source include
directory wasn't built). I've just tried again and it all works
perfectly. I suspect I may have been using 2006 (I only built 2007 for
the Powerbook recently).

I think there's something to be said for the cut down use-only version
(eg, if distributing a library in built form). But for one's own use,
your way will certainly cut down the work!
