+"============================================================================
+
+" in order to also check header files add this to your .vimrc:
+" (this usually creates a .gch file in your source directory)
+"
+"   let g:syntastic_ada_check_header = 1
+"
+" To disable the search of included header files after special
+" libraries like gtk and glib add this line to your .vimrc:
+"
+"   let g:syntastic_ada_no_include_search = 1
+"
+" In order to add some custom include directories that should be added to the
+" gcc command line you can add those to the global variable
+" g:syntastic_ada_include_dirs. This list can be used like this:
+"
+"   let g:syntastic_ada_include_dirs = [ 'includes', 'headers' ]
+"
+" To enable header files being re-checked on every file write add the
+" following line to your .vimrc. Otherwise the header files are checked only
+" one time on initially loading the file.
+" In order to force syntastic to refresh the header includes simply
+" unlet b:syntastic_ada_includes. Then the header files are being re-checked
+" on the next file write.
+"
+"   let g:syntastic_ada_auto_refresh_includes = 1
+"
+" Alternatively you can set the buffer local variable b:syntastic_ada_cflags.
+" If this variable is set for the current buffer no search for additional
+" libraries is done. I.e. set the variable like this:
+"
+"   let b:syntastic_ada_cflags = ' -I/usr/include/libsoup-2.4'
+"
+" Moreover it is possible to add additional compiler options to the syntax
+" checking execution via the variable 'g:syntastic_ada_compiler_options':
+"
+"   let g:syntastic_ada_compiler_options = ' -std=c++0x'
+"
+" Additionally the setting 'g:syntastic_ada_config_file' allows you to define
+" a file that contains additional compiler arguments like include directories
+" or CFLAGS. The file is expected to contain one option per line. If none is
+" given the filename defaults to '.syntastic_ada_config':
+"
+"   let g:syntastic_ada_config_file = '.config'
+"
+" Using the global variable 'g:syntastic_ada_remove_include_errors' you can
+" specify whether errors of files included via the
+" g:syntastic_ada_include_dirs' setting are removed from the result set:
+"
+"   let g:syntastic_ada_remove_include_errors = 1
