IIUC, there has to be a project file in the crate. That does not mean
there has to be a project file in my Github repository.

 
But then you impose someone to create a project file. And this would be
needed by all packager, there is not only crates around to build a
component. And moreover, you let the "packager" find the correct options
to be used which is certainly not a good solution.
 
That's exactly why I had proposed a PR with a project file. It
"documents" the way the code must be compiled (at least with GNAT) and
installed for everyone wanting to package your components.

+1 for a .gpr project file to enable package maintainers; it facilitates
easier to integrate Ada systems with the host system.
