Hmm. I know there are already Win32 bindings for GNAT. I take it you
are referring to some sort of effort to make gcc-native Win32 DLL's 
and .h's? That would indeed be "a tremendous amount of work". This
would make it unnessecary to purchase a Microsoft or Borland 
compiler to do serious development on Windows NT and 95. That would
be a major breakthrough.

I'm unclear about what kind of "synergy" is needed, though. The 
Win32 bindings should work with either, right?
