Another possibility would be to upgrade to Emacs 20.2 (there's a RedHat RPM
available since that's what shipped with RH 5.0). It's got ada-mode support
built-in and is (in my opinion) worth the upgrade because almost all of the
customization options seem to be available through menus (i.e., you don't
have to edit any elisp files unless you really, really _want_ to).
