It comes with GNAT GPL and Pro for Windows.

It is [necessarily] never complete, yet contains all essential Windows 
API parts (def, crt, ole, base etc). It is thin bindings and quite easy 
to extend if something is amiss.

Win32Ada is used less frequently because GNAT provides a nice set of 
OS-abstraction packages (GNAT sockets, serial COMM etc) and because for 
GUI design Gtk, Qt, Gnoga are more attractive.
