So do like Samuel... build something and make it available.
All what is needed is available, it is just a packaging issue... It seems
that people who pay ACT prefer their money to go on developping new features
that's good enough for me as I'll also get those feature.
Ressource is limited (see other posts on this subject) and packaging is
something someone not very experimented may do (well, perhaps not on
Windows :-)). I prefer that Robert Dewar write compiler code instead of
fighting with Windows Registery...

BTW, I've a patch for ada-mode 3.1 so that key bindings reserved to user are
no more defined by ada-mode. If someone can put it in a publicly available
place...
