I agree that a different name would be more
appropriate. We are providing a binding to
MFC as part of the ObjectAda for Windows
product line, under the name Ada Foundation
Classes. The notion of "Foundation Classes"
is pretty tightly tied to Windows and MFC in
particular, and especially bring to mind C++.
You need something more generic, like
Canonical Ada Classes (CAC).
