Recent versions of GLADE (the gtkada GUI builder) don't actually generate 
gtkada code. They (simplifying a bit) just generate an XML file 
describing the window layout, and a matching gtkada module parses that xml 
to generate the actual GUI when the application starts.

Would it be possible for Gnoga to read the same XML file, and build a GUI 
generated by Glade-3?
