I don't know why there shouldn't be an option to do a gnatmake on whatever buffer I'm working with.  There seems to be every other possibility, but the obvious one (that I want to build what I'm working on!) is not addressed!

I shouldn't have to switch projects or do anything at all.  I just want to gnatmake *this* thing I'm editing.  And when I edit something else, I want to be able to gnatmake on that other thing, and so forth.

Have I gone mad or does this make any sense at all? ;)
