Re: Ada to XRT bindings

[james hopper <nospam@nospam.com>]

Motorolas Common Ground System uses XRT and about 250k SLOCs of it are
in ada.  i just ported it all to gnat and the ada95 x bindings.  they
had done a binding to xrt themselves which i modified a bit.  it was
very straight forward.  if i had done it from scratch it would not have
been a big deal at least the stuff that we used.  its hard to be
precise here, but no its not that big a deal.
