For same purpose (launching gprbuild and catching the output and error
streams) I used GTK+ bindings.

I considered GNAT.OS_Lib, but dropped that for various reasons. Since GTK+
API are quite tricky when it comes to process spawning, I built thicker
bindings on top. Spawning a process with pipes:

and with text buffers instead of pipes
