I have not had a lot of yuck with this in many years.

Note that an alternative is slowly becoming available which I think 
promises to be a better long term solution (when one is looking for 
automatic bindings).


There is some work underway to add an Ada output module to SWIG 
(www.swig.org).

The hope is to fold the work into the SWIG CVS archive but at the 
moment, it is hosted within SVN at the GNUAda project. It does "work" on 
on the example programs in the SWIG test suite but there is certainly 
more work to be done. Right now I think there are just two people trying 
to get this up and running but I think there are issues about the way 
brindings are created that would benefit from discussion and having a 
wider audience looking at the results.
