For the record, the current Emacs Ada mode is at:

http://stephe-leake.org/emacs/ada-mode/emacs-ada-mode.html

It supports using a GNAT project file directly as an Emacs Ada mode
project file, or including a GNAT project file as part of a larger
Emacs Ada mode project file.

The version in Emacs 22.2 does not support GNAT project files; future
Emacs releases will include this support.
