Yes, I agree with this. I appreciate Zack's offer to rewrite the
utilities
in C, but I don't think it has much added value. Anybody doing
development
on GNAT has by definition access to the full compiler with tools
(even if only
after the first bootstrap).
Right now, my highest priority is to get up to speed with
integrating ACT
changes back into the tree.
