Okay, I understand what's going on.  It's just that since the GtkAda
distribution provides, and the documentation documents, gtkada-config as the
simple way to get all the correct switch/library settings, that's what I
preferred to use.

Up till now I've used the ada-mode in Emacs, wherein I added `gtkada-config`
to the compile and build command lines specified in the Projects
settings--which is why I was trying to add it to the comparable setting in
GPS.  It would be A Good Thing for GPS to retain this capability in some
form, since GtkAda isn't the only product that utilizes this "switch
generating command" technique.
