Since this is a Windows program. I would suggest converting your graphics in
to BMPs and putting them in to you resources. This way you get one EXE with
everything in it. If size is a factor, you can using UPX to compress your
exe.

GWindows (http://www.adapower.com/gwindows) is currently the best Modified
GPL (ie. Free as in liberty) library available (I wrote it, so I am biased
of course :-)

I am currently working on completing GTK+ bindings that will be integrated
with GWindows that will allow for all the whiz bang stuff that MS has been
pumping about XP's graphics (loading, modifying and savings of most graphic
types, Alpha channels etc.) on Win98/ME/NT/2K/XP).

Any library you would use from C/C++ to load in Gif's, etc. can be used with
Ada also. Take a look at the way I build the thick GWindows bindings, in
particular how each function is bound in the body of the procedure and makes
far more use of the excellent design of Ada's ability to bind to C then thin
bindings do. I would also recommend looking at Windex to get a handle on
thin binding as well.
