This would be great - provided that there is somebody willing to try to 
clean it up (rewrite the little perl script in OMake, etc). 
Unfortunately, as none of the OMake developers uses Ada, most likely we 
would not be able to do this ourselves.

Note that OMake standard library already comes with LaTeX support (see 
the LaTeX.om file or the LaTeX section of the documentation - 
http://omake.metaprl.org/omake-doc.html#htoc438 )
