This is not a mere enhancement request, it causes all sorts of build bugs, as
you can see from the dependency list.

Actually this is not quite true: most if not all the PR that have been marked
as dependent on this one can be fixed independently of this issue.

Concerning this specific PR, I believe everyone agrees this would be
a good thing, the main question is how to achieve this.

For one thing, I started looking at how you add a new e.g. libada directory
(and enable its configuration and build from the top level directory) and
I must admit that it is not at all clear how to to that (I'm not a configure
expert anyway).

Assuming "someone" would add a dummy libada directory
that would get configured and built (e.g. with an empty Makefile and configure)
automatically, I could then start working on providing an actual
configure.in and Makefile.in to make it work for real.

Any volunteer ?
