The Ada part looks fine to me, on a quick inspection. But at least 75% of 
it seems to be shell scripts and configuration files for building and 
installation. I wonder how much of that complexity is really necessary?

If I wanted Lua-Ada bindings I think I would start there, extract the Ada 
files and use a much simpler (admittedly less general) build process. I 
suspect it would be much easier to adapt and maintain.
