That may be true, but I have a lifetime of experience in make. I only have =
a newb's level of experience with gprbuild and I find the documentation for=
 gprbuild frightful. It talks a lot about syntax, but find it lacking in ex=
amples that would apply to the Unix build experience.

What's important for now is just getting this project off the ground in a r=
easonably portable way. It's just a pet project to give me an excuse to do =
Ada again. The Ada experience has been good. I'll wade more into gprbuild a=
t a later time.
