Jonothan mentions that he has built a utility which uses the unit listing
from GNAT to generate dependencies. Much better is using the ALI files.
The D lines in the ALI files are EXACTLY the list of source file 
dependencies. That's how we generate dependencies.

Much better than either approach is an Ada make utility that calculates
the dependencies dynamically as it goes along. We are working on such a
utility and hope to have it available soon.

Jonathan, I think you would find it *much* easier to parse the ALI files!
