Mark is correct, the tempo-support just lets you define tempo
and meter changes within a session... you can snap regions based
on this info, however there is *no* direct support for pitch or 
time-stretching the audio in ardour.

I agree that the basic Acid functionality should be in another
app (even though as a lazy developer, having to reimplement the multi-track
UI paradigm *again* makes me sad).  Sharing some transport controls
via Jack should allow rendering the tracks to ardour easier.
