That's what Debian does, of course. The Debian packages contain the
preprocessed source files and hand-optimised project files that
integrate well with all other packages (XML/Ada, AWS and many others).
If you want binary packages for Windows, you'll have to make them
yourself. Feel free to join the GNU Ada project (http://
sourceforge.net/projects/gnuada) and contribute.
