While I agree it would be nice, things are starting to settle down. Ada 
is now included in the distribution media of most of the major Linux 
distributions...

Solaris (sparc at least) users can visit blastwave.org which has 
prebuilt gcc's that include Ada support.

Windows users can go the mingw.org route..

In some ways this is not as nice as the old public GNAT releases (one 
stop Ada shopping). The biggest problem for Windows users has been the 
lack of a good gdb that worked with modern Ada and mingw.

There were slightly painful ways around it but things are getting better.

Maybe all we need is a nice index/wiki write-up with links for each of 
the recommended solutions.
