Well, you could just support a subset of the language via a macro facility 
interface to Ada. Certainly simple #def's like the one given earlier in the 
thread might be useful for compatibility/porting. As a C programmer for many 
years using Ada for the first time I for one would love to have some decent 
support for conditional compilation.
