<<    I don't see how Ada95 contributes to this in any direct way since
    it is beyond the scope of a programming language definition.
    Unless, you perhaps had something else in mind when writing
    "configuration management"?>>

What is meant by this mention is simply that one (of may) tasks of CM
is ensuring that builds are consistent. Ada assists in this process as
a kind of after the fact checker in that the Ada system will check that
a consistent system has been built.

No one would (or should) claim that Ada encompasses all of CM (or desire
that it be the case :-)
