I once did some work porting a Solaris system to Unix. They had migrated
to GNAT, but compilation was managed using a set of c-shell scripts
whose maintainer (one of the project managers told me) had made them his
life's work.

This would have been about 1999, so I had to use gnatmake, and I'm not
even sure whether project files existed, but it was _such_ an
improvement.
