I have not looked at that, but it would be nice to see more bindings
that were thicker than the Win32ada binding. Mind you, I understand the
value of doing the thin bindings. You've got to keep up with the "real"
code and much of this sort of thing is done automatically. I doubt there
is a good way of automatically generating bindings that would translate
C-isms into Ada-isms, but ultimately, I want to access system routines
and such using normal Ada data structures and methods. Sometimes you may
lose access to every possible feature by doing this, or adding some
processing overhead to do conversions, but normally I'd consider it
worth it.
