Why? I have other things to do in my life then write a library that no one
is ever going to use. It seems like there's dozens of alpha libraries and 
bindings out there for Ada, most of which don't actually seem to be used
anywhere, and many of which aren't supported. I'd rather spend my time
working on something interesting and maybe even useful.
