Being author of two of the three, I certainly wouldn't mind some one helping
out and porting GNATCOM and GWindows to other compilers :-)

It's a time thingy more than anything. I've hit a few brick walls (certainly
that can be passed over, I just don't have the time to write the
fixes/changes or research the hows to over come them...) not related to the
GNAT specific extensions I've used.
