This Ada stuff is experimental with an API that is likely to change so I am
trying deliberately to restrict it just to the build tree.  Thus, it was an
oversight to install test_ada.sh in isolation when ENABLE_ada is ON.
However, I don't think this will make a practical difference for most users
since ENABLE_ada is OFF by default (and should remain OFF unless you want to
experiment with ADA).  The Ada goals I have identified so far are to sort
out the Ada API questions with Jerry, create a full set of Ada examples that
work well in the build tree, then implement Ada properly in the install
tree.  I hope all of these goals will be realized by the next release, but
everything else Ada related is on hold until the API issues are sorted out.
