I've tested with gnat GPL 2017, CE 2018, and pro 19. I'll add that in
the first paragraph of the user manual Installing section, and on the
main web page.

ada_mode_wisi_lr1_parse.exe expects ada_lr1_parse_table.txt to be in the
same directory as the executable.

Otherwise the parsers do not rely on being in the tree for anything;
they just have to be in exec-path.

What is the rationale for not putting them in the compiler tree? Maybe
we need to provide an --install-dir option to build.sh?
