That can also be made to work with some extra trouble. The package named
gnatcoll will need to pull in gnatcoll-bindings and gnatcoll-db, and
gnatcoll-devel will need to pull in gnatcoll-bindings-devel and
gnatcoll-db-devel. Otherwise functionality will mysteriously disappear when
users upgrade. But that creates cyclical build-time dependencies because
building gnatcoll-bindings and gnatcoll-db requires gnatcoll-core. The
dependencies that are needed for upgrades will have to be temporarily removed
for mass rebuilds. Adding gnatcoll-core as a new package avoids the cyclical
dependencies. gnatcoll and gnatcoll-devel will then be empty packages that
exist only to pull in gnatcoll-bindings and gnatcoll-db during upgrades.

I also think it will be less confusing to users, as the name gnatcoll-core
communicates clearly that it's not all of Gnatcoll but only the core.

That's a good idea. Thanks.

I'm afraid I forgot to check the licenses of the files from Sphinx. I'll make
sure to fix that.

Parallel building is done by GPRbuild. The makefile just composes parameters to
GPRbuild and GPRinstall.
