I do not see what prevent the use of this mode to edit ada code for other
compilers. As far as I known, the only thing which was not dependant on
gnat which will now be unavailable to others people is the stub generation
(perhaps a request to re-insert the old code could be sent to ACT?). By the
way every other time the result of the old code was just to copy the spec in
the body and add " body " after package.

I've more to complain (I've send a report) to the definition of key
sequences which should be reserved to users.

I had no problem to generate an info file (it was named ada-mode).
