I was hoping that the formats are controlled, and few, but given the
generic nature of GPRBuild, won't similar declarations of REs be used
for "guessing" versions of tools not under AdaCore's control?  Like,
what if those version numbers will be reflecting Git tags applied by
third parties, like "v6.1-exp_BH-20160428A"?

On the plus side, it might feel like an easy job when one needs
to integrate a patched tool by adjusting REs. TTBOMK, correct REs
aren't that easy, though.
