| While I realize that it is not necessarily portable to 
| windows, it looks 
| like what Ludovic is doing packaging Ada tools on Debian is a 
| step in the 
| right direction.  http://libre.act-europe.fr/ is also not at 
| all bad as a 
| collocation of necessary and interesting parts.

Yes, Ludovic is doing a great job. Using Ada on Debian is now easier than
ever.

On the Windows side, there is Stephane Riviere's promising AIDE : 
Ada on a CD, with compiler/IDE/tools/library.
It's ready to run, and 100% free software.

Those environment are easy to install and use, giving more or less the same
ease *feeling* than on VB. 
Actually, it's just because the choice between components was done by the
"packager", here Ludovic or Stephane.

For those for wich the default choice is not the right one, some sort of
central Ada catalogue on the web is still missing.
