Ok, here is the oskit "hello" kernel. Any ideas how to convert this
to Ada?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <oskit/clientos.h>
#include <oskit/startup.h>
#include <oskit/version.h>

int main()
{
#ifndef KNIT
        oskit_clientos_init();
#endif
#ifdef  GPROF
        start_fs_bmod();
        start_gprof();
#endif
        oskit_print_version();
        printf("Hello, World\n");
        return 0;
}

I suspect that this small program might actually
prove to be rather pesky to implement, and linking
is pretty complex as well.
