Would there be a way to make an ada-mode that could work in
either environment?

I have my own ada-mode which has evolved over the years and
periodically incorporated some of the features of the official
ada-mode.  It uses the file names to figure out if it is working
with Verdix (*.a), Apex (*.[12].ada), or GNAT (*.ad[sb]) ada
files.

I really need to isolate a few features of my ada-mode and put
them in an enhancement package, then go with the official
version.
