Just from the top of my head, since I haven't directly been involved
with the process of getting this file in: I think they are commented
out until we can add the different pieces that would make them
compilable and/or activatable.
They will for sure be re-examined when we activate this code.

I don't know the history of this code, Paul Hilfinger will probably know
more, but I agree that getting rid of this code one day would be a
tremendous improvement.
Thanks for taking care of ada-lang.c in the interim. If any problem
arises with the maintenance of these file, please let me and Paul know,
we'll jump in to help.
