Oh, it's worse than that. Some of these libraries in the "standard set" are difficult [or virtually impossible] to build [in windows w/GNAT]. AWS in particular is a pain because it requires an additional subsystem [cygwin, mingw, etc] to compile and install... and even then it's very frustrating because of how chancy getting a viable build/install is. (I've only done it once, and I'm coming to be of the opinion it was by accident because I've *NEVER* been able to do so since.) {Be prepared to hand-edit the auto generated/config files! There's a whole `nother load of fun for you!}
