 The current lang/gcc ports are missing Ada support. Probably due to the
 fact that Ada is self hosted. Nothing wrong with beeing self hosted - I
 think every self resprecting programming language should have at least one
 self hosted implementation.

 But the tiny twist ist: you need an Ada compiler to compile Ada. But this
 is no problem on Mac OS X as [http://www.macada.org/ MacAda] provides a
 working Ada implementating.

 Once you got an Ada compiler you can always use it to create a new version
 of itself.

 The attached patch will use either the MacAda compiler (+macada) or and an
 allready created MacPorts GCC with Ada support (+ada) to create a fully
 working GCC with all it's languages enabled.

 I hope this patch is accepted. I also atteched a little command file which
 will create a dmg from the new compiler.
