Ada's version of STL is called SGL (get it?).  The last download
that I made is SGL version 2.0, alpha 3.  SGL is (or was) being
worked by people at Rensselaer Polytech.  The ftp site is
ftp://ftp.cs.rpi.edu/pub/stl -- the file is still there.

RPI folks also were responsible for STL.  I don't know their future
plans for SGL.
