Given its size and the fact that it's also distributed/installed
separately from Emacs, it's preferable not to include it in the ada-mode
package itself.
Instead the ada-mode package should ideally do its best to make use of
a pre-installed ARM (e.g. support for C-h S), of course. Maybe we could
provide the ARM as an ELPA package, but I'm not completely sure how
important that would be. Not sure about the copyright/licensing either
(apparently it counts as Free, so I think it'd be OK to include it (even
though we don't own the copyright), just like we include the Unicode
standard).
