I had the same thought. It not only exists, it appears to be a very
clever piece of work (especially vis-a-vis retargetting various
backends), and rather more impressive than the GNAT frontend (no small
feat IMO).

And that's just fine. What would seem like the more sensible road
here would be to put together a Thomson style deal (where ObjectAda
uses the AdaMagic frontend, but Thomson BE, IDE, etc). This has
produced one of the (maybe _the_) most impressive Ada offering to
date. Question is, who is the Thomson equivalent for the Mac in such
a scenario???
