As mentioned before, I already have bindings developed for ... www.adapower.com also lists: Claw 2.7 MB (free for non-commerical use) 5.8 MB + examples, docs, and GUI Builder, $>0 Windex 2.4 MB GWindows 1.3 MB Jewl .9 MB Perhaps "thick binding coordination" would fit nicely in the Ada Bindings Working Group? I suspect it is currently difficult to mix different parts of these bindings. Maybe part of "coordination" should be development of ways to switch between, or mix and match, instead of being locked in to one particular binding. BTW, one of the major, but rarely mentioned, advantages of a thick binding is that someone else has tracked down the obscurities, ambiguities, MS doc errors, etc to find out what the various API calls actually do, and how they need to hang together. The thinner the binding, the more of that you get to do yourself. ;)
