I would hope Aonix would look to supporting additional platforms in
future years, and there is always the possibility that on one of them
a dominent C compiler could have a different integer size than was
appropriate for ObjectAda (I boldly use that name claiming that
Aonix has more than used up their quota of name changes for the
lifetime of the Ada95 standard :-).

The fact that a C compiler is dominant may be less related to whether
it supports the rumored forthcoming consensus and more related to
whether it has the Microsoft brand.
