It would probably take quite a while.  A lot of the
backend code generation stuff could be reused.

The hardest part would be the front-end parser and
semantic analysis routines, together with the issue
of defining a mapping from Ada types to CTS.  Ada
is a pretty big language.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to bite this off, but
if someone else wants to take it on, that would be
great.

Cheers,

Rhys.
