Hi

I'm wanting to start thinking about revamping Gentoo's Ada support. So I'm
wondering what the user', if any, would want. 

I personally want to bring it up to date and have an ada USE flag which can
be used from system install such that Ada is a first class citizen rather
than the ugly ginger step-child it currently is.

This means the whole current way of doing things will need to change. I've
just never liked the way distributions have a whole other set of compilers
just for Ada, so there ends up being two tool chains, so two c compilers,
two c++ compilers, one Ada compiler.

What do people want?

Luke
