Rational wrote a version of Xlib that is done 99% in Ada (the remaining
1% is just a few hundred statements in assembly). Rational has donated
this to MIT as a freely-distributable (but not public domain) artifact.
It can be obtained via ftp from MIT if you have Internet access [you
should check what the rules mean for "freely-distributable"]. It's a nice
clean implementation, and could be ported to a variety of platforms at
very minimal cost (you can even use machine code insertions to write
the few hundred non-Ada lines if your Ada compilers supports this).
