Yes and no.

GNAT has a utility (called 'gnatchop') which allows
a single GNAT *.adb file to explode into the various
files needed to generate the executable.

Several GNAT tests already do this.

In the case of Java, a single source file is used
to generate several class files.  This is fine.  I
don't care how many intermediate files get generated
as long as I can keep a single file in the repository,
and run some set of commands on that file to build
the executable.
