[Ada] Nag screen

The public version of GNAT contains a "nag screen": The binder prints
an ad for the supported GNAT version if you use the public version of
GNAT to build a program which contains more than a certain number of
library units. (Okay, it's not a full screen, and the message appears
only once per day and program, so it's only slightly annoying. For
details, see bindgen.adb, around line 2674.)
However, currently, the nag screen is disabled since the GNAT version
string contains a 'w', and not a 'p'. Therefore, the CVS version
considers itself to be a fully-supported version for ACT customers
(and prints the appropriate bug box, and so on).
Anyway, I think it's a bit strange that such code is present in an
official FSF GCC version. ;-)
