So I was thinking -should I do this the 'proper' way - only use a 
language, or should I use whatever tool that makes it quickest, since 
only a number was the final answer.

This way, I did it quicker than implementing all if it in ada,
and I got a good grip of what was happening, by adding the pipes  one by 
one.

This is of course why I posted. Sometimes a combination of tools
gets you (or actually me) faster to the goal.

I haven't used generic_arrray_sort much, but I've done quite some
sorting on Ada.Containers.Doubly_linked_Lists - and I think they are 
close in howto use. But - I think those external tools were faster for me.
