[RFA/www] Mention Ada in list of supported languages

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 337 bytes --]

Hello,

A coworker mentioned to me this week that Ada is not mentioned
in the list of languages supported by the debugger. I was wondering
if we could add this in the general description of GDB on the main
page. I took the opportunity to re-order by alphabetic order. I'm
completely open to any other ordering however.

Thanks,

It does say "many other languages", but I have no objection to this
patch, or a patch that lists all languages that we actually support;
there aren't that many.

I like Joel's, I think.

(There are "many", meaning a few, others - but some of them I don't
think work too well nowadays, like the Scheme support.)

Thanks to everyone who provided their feedback - no-one objected
so I checked the change in.
