If you are interested to get Ada support into CMake, it would be nice if you 
could have a look at the current state of the language support files in cmake 
cvs HEAD. The linker preference is now a numeric value, for C and C++ 
a "compiler ID" is determined, which is then used to load a 
<system>-<compiler-id>-<language>.cmake file, if there is no compiler ID, 
just the basename of the compiler is used.
Additionally a file 
<system>-<compiler-id>-<lang>-<CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR>.cmake is loaded if it 
exists, so there some settings can be tuned.
CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILER can now be preset, which is required for cross 
compiling.

If you can get the Ada files to support this too and a test for the Ada 
support (see e.g. Tests/COnly) then it would be easier to get this into cmake 
cvs for the next major cmake release.
