I'm not sure about Ada friendly, but I'm very partial to Jenkins <http://
jenkins-ci.org> which can do a pretty decent job with just about any 
project type.

A first pass at Googling doesn't show me any XML test runners for AUnit 
that can generate JUnit compatible test reports. I've used XSLT to 
transform glib test output for integration with Jenkins <http://

which could probably be reused.
