It's a bit too thin and chucks up warnings when converting between
different events. A thick binding would allow use of the type system. I
just need to create a test branch as I'm not sure if the performance
implications.

Yeah I haven't got around to that yet. I've been meaning on looking into
copyright issues as I don't want this biting me at a later date. I'm happy
to accept contributions as long as they stick to the same kind of
interface, thin where need be thick when required, stick to the Ada style
and agrees to copyright assignment which can be done in a hit pull /patch.
