Why would you want to do that? It sounds to me that you will only have
more problems editing your files this way.

Perhaps to maintain different implementations with the same specification?

One 'real' target version, one 'fake' host version, test stub versions etc.

Then I would recommend using CVS

Well, you could but I usually like having all version hanging around
in a:

<project root>
  + <csci1 name>
  |   + <csc1 name>
  |   |   + spec
  |   |   + host
  |   |   |  + build
  |   |   |  + test
  |   |   + target1
  |   |   |  + build
  |   |   |  + test
  |   |   + target2
  |   |      + build
  |   |      + test
  |   + <csc2 name>
  + <csci2 name>
    etc

still directory structure with the same structure within the
config system. If target1 and target2 share a body I can always
'link' them together with the config tool (never found a config
tool that didn't have this, yet...)

Each to there own...

Once again this is 

a) a perfectly plausible approach
b) one that is commonly used

and as to using CVS, it is not an either/or thing at all.
If you want to use the directory structure you suggest,
there is no problem whatever in reflecting this in your
CVS tree.

Note that the new project management features in GNAT Pro,
which can be used either stand alone, or as integrated into
the forthcoming release of the GNAT Programming System, a
new visual multi-language development system for GNAT Pro,
allow this kind of arrangement to be organized in a convenient and
easily managed manner.

That's a non-sequitur, The use of CVS is orthogonal, the use of separate
directories in the manner suggested above is absolutely standard practice.

It's a perfectly reasonable thing to want to do, since e.g. the specs
may need
to be shared but not the bodies, or there may be multiple
implementations of
the bodies in different directories. GNAT fully supports this, all the
necessary documentation is in the users guide.

That's not an Ada question, its a compiler question. There's nothing
in the language that says where files can go (or even how they have to
be named). You should consult your compiler documentation.

If you use Gnat, check the -I option in the top secret documentation that should have come with your 
compiler installation.

Now Christopher has gone and done it :-) He has revealed the existance
of
the secret documents. Can't you tell how much trouble we have gone to
hide the user documentation of GNAT by giving it the highly obscure
title "GNAT Users Guide" :-) :-)

Seriously, this documentation is definitely worth perusing. Compilers
are not
like simple minded editors that you can expect to use without reading
the documentation!
