True, I suppose, if you have just standard C or Ada, possibly in
multiple directories. But as soon as you need OS dependencies (where
are the Motif libraries? do you even _have_Motif libraries? etc ..)
the language differences pale, in my experience (we use imake under
these circumstances for a mixed Ada/C/C++ system).
