Taglist supports any language which Ctags supports. All Taglist need is a
list of type (procedure, package, task, etc, pp) which Ctags generates when
parsing a language.

The trick is the Ada support for Ctags. After that it is just a matter of
setting up on the type-list (No big deal, mostly copy/paste the type-list
from Ctags). The GNU Ada project [1] has a fully patched Ctags and Taglist
(as part of the VIM package) for SuSe and Fedora available for download.
For other systems download source packages.
