I think the biggest problem facing the community is the actual portability of many of the most useful libraries and not on locating them. I can't tell you the amount of times I've tried to get Ada working with SQL on Windows and failed.

The bottom line is Make is unreliable on Windows and Autoconfig is unusable. Having a version of ASIS, matreshka, or AWS that built with GPR alone would be a huge selling point.
