Of all the things I didn't do was a reboot!!!!!!  After the reboot it
compiled, binded, linked, and ran hello_world just fine.  Blast
Windows.  No where in ANY installation instructions did it say to
reboot after installing MinGW, GNU Ada, or jGRASP!!!!  I can't believe
that's all I had to do.  What was I thinking?  Of course on a
Microsoft Windows machine it needs a reboot!  Thanks everyone for the
help though.
