You don't read this newsgroup much, do you?  We just had a huge argument
about this subject.  ;-)

First, what do you want:

1. Do you want it to handle the entire Ada language correctly?

2. Do you want it to produce C that is understandable to humans (e.g. C
programmers)?  (I.e. do you want a compiler that happens to produce C,
and you'll maintain the Ada code, or do you want to throw away the Ada
code, and maintain the C code?)

3. Do you want the C code to be efficient?
