As the maintainer of Ada mode, I think this is more properly done in a
Makefile. 

But it is possible to use Emacs Ada mode for pure Ada projects without
a Makefile, so I suppose it would make sense to include it as an
option.

Since Ada mode is part of Emacs, you would need to assign copyright to
the Free Software Foundation; email me off list about this.

"wrong file name" does not require gnatchop (you can specify other
names in the GNAT project file), only "multiple compilation units".

We should move other discussion about this to the Emacs Ada mode
mailing list hosted at
http://stephe-leake.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-ada-mode_stephe-leake.org
