[gtkada] configure --libdir setting is not acknowledge properly in the build system

[Qun-Ying]

Sorry, I don't know why I don't  get mail from the list (or still swimming
outside to reach my mail box) and have to look through the mailing archive.
The reply may not go into proper thread.

I saw the changes on svn that it still install the lib under prefix/lib for
compatibility reason. A manual change of configure file is needed if I
insist to install elsewhere. ^_^  It is hard to say which is right or
wrong, but it is your call.  Anyway, it still has some hard-coded value if
I changed the configure file:
projects/gtkada_install_dynamic.gpr.in and projects/
gtkada_install_dynamic_gl.gpr.in still hard coded the library path to be
../../lib/gtkada

I haven't play around this yet, but suppose it is install somewhere else,
there should be a switch to tell the tools where to find the project files,
right?

If I just use the configure: ./configure --prefix=/usr/gnat. It builds both
static and share libraries, but gtkada-config defaults to static build, and
no option for the shared version. If with "--enable-shared", then it
defaults to shared version and has the static option to choose from.

I think it is better if gtkada-config have the corresponding option present
(--static /--shared) when static or shared libraries are build.
