Maybe I can do this myself. The script doesn't do that much. It takes one 
input and one output file and an arbitrary number of include paths and calls 
gnatgcc with these options to get a dependency list. This list is then 
reformated into a make rule. It's less than 60 lines.

I'll take a look at it.

But I'd guess our approaches are too different:

You have portability in mind, I don't care about Windows.
You require that users list which source files go into which lib/executable, I 
determine this by directory structure.
You put object files into the source dir, I place them elsewhere.
...

I have assembled a little tarball with this build system and some Ada sample 
code. It's 18k in size, can I send it to the list or should I upload it 
somewhere?

Bye...
