What I ended up doing when I needed to link some C code compiled under
Visual C++ into an Ada main (due to the code using APIs that weren't
supported under the SDK in GNAT environment) was to build a DLL with
the appropriate declaration.  The downside is that you can't debug it
that way.  When debugging is necessary, I need to create a driver in C
within Visual C++ and debug it there.
