I decided that I would spend sometime trying to get GPS CVS to build.  After 
installing gnat-gcc 4.1.1, GtkAda 2.8.0 and XmlAda 2.2.0 and setting up the 
various paths and symlink it would not build.  Re-reading the INSTALL file I 
discovered that I should be using GtkAda CVS (ie. same version as the GPS I 
am trying to build).  But after grabbing it I can not get it to build.  It 
appears to get fairly far into the build and fails with:

gnatgcc -c -I../ -O2 -gnatn -gnatws -fPIC -I- ../gtk-button.adb
gnatgcc -c -I../ -O2 -gnatn -gnatws -fPIC -I- ../gtk-button_box.adb
gnatgcc -c -I../ -O2 -gnatn -gnatws -fPIC -I- ../gtk-calendar.adb
gnatgcc -c -I../ -O2 -gnatn -gnatws -fPIC -I- ../gtk-cell_editable.ads
gtk-cell_editable.ads:40:12: package "Gtk.Cell_Editable" does not allow a body
gtk-cell_editable.ads:40:12: remove incorrect body in 
file "gtk-cell_editable.adb"
gnatmake: "../gtk-cell_editable.ads" compilation error
make[1]: *** [lib-obj/make_gtk.o] Error 4
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/xxxx/Sources/GtkAda/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I can get GtkAda 2.8.0 to build and install and the the testgtk program works.  
So this is something specific to CVS.  Anyone have any ideas about how I can 
get this to build?
