Just to make it clear: my idea is not at all to make GWindows the candidate as 
the "New Ada portable GUI Library"; my point is that more effort should be given 
*now* to GWindows if you want to attract *some time later* enough Ada 
programmers for the much more ambitious project of an "Ada portable GUI Library" 
(or any other big project, like an "Ada OS"). Such projects seem to me to need 
the cooperation of a large number of people. Right now, there is not enough 
forces in the Ada community. So, IMHO, for *now*, we need to concentrate on less 
ambitious, more targeted and directly useful projects. Perhaps we (including 
me!) should spend less time bla-bla-ting on c.l.a., it would not hurt the 
progress of our projects...
