How does this differ from GtkAda or QtAda?

Apart from being Windows only...

Perhaps it doesn't rely on a huge C or C++ toolkit like GTK or QT as a 
layer between the Ada code and Windows (or X11 if he goes multiplatform 
later).

In any case, if you are suggesting he study GTKAda etc before investing a 
huge effort, in case either of them offer anything he could re-use, I 
would agree.
