    These components are a major building block of the GNAT Programming
    Studio.  As the package description below states, it can also be used
    generically.  This splits GNATColl out prior to GPS version upgrade.
    
        =================================================================
    
    The reusable library known as the GNAT Component Collection (GNATColl)
    is based on one main principle: general-purpose packages that are part of
    the GNAT technology should also be available to user application code.
    The compiler front end, the GNAT Programming Studio (GPS) Interactive
    Development Environment, and the GNAT Tracker web-based interface all
    served as sources for the components.
    
    The GNATColl components complement the predefined Ada and GNAT libraries
    and deal with a range of common programming issues including string and
    text processing, memory management, and file handling. Several of the
    components are especially useful in enterprise applications.
