I like the sound of that.  We'd need a central place where all reusable
libraries, maybe that could be a good addition to Ada World (The Ada Oracle)
perhaps for a name :-)  or simply the Ada Library and I could host them all,
without a problem. :-).

I'd like some input on this from people.  See for instance,

1. what could be part of it?  do we limit ourselves to platform independant
reusable libraries?
2. Do we include such things as AdaCL and such data structure based
libraries?
3. Do we go OS specific in different fields.  For example.  A binding to
PDCurses, one for conio to allow for specific functionalities available on
each OS/Platform?

And others too, what would you guys put in The Ada Library ?  And why...see
if we can filter out a list that could please everyone.

Awaiting comments, ideas and suggestions :-)
