Matt,

Glad to have a name attached to the maintenance/fixing of ada-mode.

ada-mode 3.0 is a quantum leap from 2.28, but there are still a few niggling
problems -- e.g., indentation doesn't work right in protected types; in some
contexts parameter lists are not recognized as parameter lists, etc.

As I encounter specific cases I'll send them to you.  I hadn't wanted to
bother ACT with it, since getting the executable-generation tools right is
more important.
