Ah, soo desu ka.  What I have to do is quickly* provide a reliable*,
repeatable* way to install a reasonably robust* Ada/C environment.

My personal preference is "latest and greatest" but for my
"customers" I must provide tools that "get the job done"

* quickly    => "What do you mean testing?  It's been several
                  hours since we asked for that!"
* repeatable => No surprises when someone puts it on WinNT
                 and I only tested on Win2K
* reliable   => They can only screw it up by intentionally
                 not following my instructions
* robust     => Something that will not inspire misdirected
                 blame against Ada

The ideal would be one already built.  That gives me
time to experiment with building the next one while
they get started using this one.
