Unfortunately, the runtime I am using doesn't support
protected types and the Ada standard doesn't really
provide any support for interrupts in that arena that
I can tell.  A lot of this has to be done
on a platform by platform basis, but I was hoping
that there was a way to at least leverage Export
as that was language defined.
