Motif is ok _if_ you have a group of people who understand C/Ada
interactions very well (i.e. know how to use the Interfaces.C.* packages
well), and if you take the time to provide some sort of support for
various features. For example i have written a package to make using
callbacks a lot easier/safer than normal. 

The existing (public) bindings leave a lot to be desired when it comes to
mapping anonymous C enumeration types to ada enumeration types, rather
than the much simpler and equivalent numeric constants.
