Hi Greg

Thanks for the feedback, and glad to see that its now building fine, I'll
make the following changes to ease the use of the UWP templates within ViaualAda

1) Add documentation for the Winrt_runtime and winrt build procedures (something
that I should have dome earlier)

2) Add documentation to both of the above projects to configure the gpr files
for specific compilers/targets

3) The build failure in point 9) above is caused by the <app> project having a
dependency on the <app>xml project (something that I believe cant be specified in
the project template ?) Not sure how to fix this other than showing a readme.txt
file upon project creation, which indicated this dependency and instructions on
how to setup.

4) The <app>xml project references an old version of nuget package UWP runtime
and needs to be updated to reflect the current WinRT Ada bindings (ie 19H1/1903)

5) The <app>xml project also needs to specify a more recent TargetRuntime (its 
currently set to 10.0.14393.0, which is very old, and needs to reflect runtimes
supported by default VS2017/2019 installations ? I'll need to investigate this !

Is their anything else that I can do/document to make things easier ? I am sort
of working in a vacuum wrt changes, But I do eat my own dogfood so to speak and
have so far made changes to suit my requirements and hence someone else's view
would be great

Thanks

Alex
I hope to have this release (1.2.1) soon
