Also Ada is a lot easier to learn than Java for someone who is already
fluent in VHDL!

That's spelled "Ada"; it's a name, not an acronym
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_programming).
The compiler should probably be ported to something like Java,
then VHDL could be a "write once, run anywhere" type language, and
that would be a hoot.
It is _far_ easier to learn Ada than to rewrite a program as complex as
a VHDL compiler.
It is possible to target the Java Virtual Machine with an Ada compiler
(http://www.adacore.com/home/products/gnatpro/multi-language/ada-java/).
That would be a better way to get "compile once, run anywhere".
Note that Ada is already "write once, compile anywhere, run anywhere".
