Also as an answer to your other post: It has been a long time since I
last packaged emacsens myself, so I probably don't know any more where
things are supposed to be.

Usually if I want to add packages to emacs I don't delete/rename stuff
in /usr/hare/emacs and elsewhere, but I have a directory
$HOME/share/emacs where I keep additional emacs lisp packages which
don't come with my distro or of which I want to have a later / better
/ patched version.

With 

     (load-file (concat (getenv "HOME") "/share/emacs/foo.el"))

which I put into .emacs I could get emacs to load single files.

With stuff like 

   (setq user-home (getenv "HOME"))
   (setq load-path (cons (concat user-home "/share/emacs") load-path))

I can point emacs to the my local lisp directory as a general location
where to look for lisp files.

   (require 'foo)

Loads feature foo, assuming that it be in a file named "foo.el". If
that is not the case, you can instead load a lisp-file with

   (load-library "bar")

This loads "bar.el" (or "bar.elc") from somwhere on load-path and can
also be done interactively wit "M-x ...".

So if you want to experiment with another ada-mode, I suggest you use
the appropriate package manager of your machine to remove the ada-mode
package that comes with the machine. Then put all required lisp files
(which are required might take some experimenting) into your local
lisp directory and go from there.

Hope that OT doesn't annoy too much people here. Perhaps its better
than some on topic topics :-(.
