John Marino dd06b54dc6 Add new port: lang/gnat_util
There are a number of GNAT tools that have to be build using the same
exact sources as the compiler that it serves.  Two examples of this are
GPRbuild and ASIS.  The latter is an important component of several other
language semantic tools.

Accordingly, a separate port is being created to build a static library
that need these compiler sources.  Incidentally, diverging sources is the
reason devel/gprbuild-aux stopped building after lang/gcc-aux was upgraded.
With this new scheme, this type of failure should no longer occur.

This is a dependency of the upcoming lang/asis port, and must be specified
as a build dependency by any port that needs ASIS.

Plaintext

Gnat_Util is a library uniting a number of GNAT sources that are used by
different tools. At the moment Gnat_Util provides GNAT sources needed by ASIS,
GNATCOLL and Gprbuild. Its main purpose is allowing to simultaneously use
tools like ASIS and GNATCOLL (and other ones based on GNAT sources, if they
are to come), which would normally cause name conflicts between the same GNAT
sources that they use. Building both of them using same set of sources that
is Gnat_Util solves this problem.
