The main thing that is required for distributed use in a heterogeneous
network is to make the message format architecturally neutral (and the
same for every node). One way to achieve that is to use a textual form,
which is what GLADE does. The compiler must generate the same format
for the messages regardless of the architecture of the target, which
is achieved by using the same compiler (gnat) for each target.
