[GNAT] Better handling of non-standard line endings
LF/CR is no longer recognized as a legitimate line terminator (it will now be treated as two separate line terminators). This resuls in better handling of files containing mixed unix/dos line endings, and in particular if the -gnatyd switch is used, the messages more accurately point to the DOS lines. Note that no known system uses LF/CR as a line terminator.

[GNAT] Specify line length for -gnatD/-gnatG output
The generated output from use of -gnatG or -gnatD by default has a maximum line length of 72. It is now possible to specify an alternative maximum line length using an integer value right after the D or G switch. The minimum value that can be specified is 40, the maximum is 999999. Any value less than 40 is reset to 40.

Middleware setups that include more than one ORB tasking policy or more than one ORB controller are now detected at initialization time and cause an exception to be raised instead of silently proceeding with execution of the inconsistent partition.
