Let me say I'm also very much interrested in free VHDL tools, especially
simulators, however:

Right now I'm also using Webpack (4.1) and I can tell that wait *is*
supported. Otherwise how could you create syncron circuits? Of course it's a
synthetizer so it will support waits that makes sense in an FPGA, not *any*
wait. Shall I send examples that compiles for me?

If you're not tied to Xilinx HW, try Altera Quatrus. That's also free
recently, but I know nothing about it, not even if it supports VHDL (MaxPlus
II had a very poor VHDL support).
