Using standard output is kind of "erroneous" in gtkada applications. Under
Windows it will most likely crash the application (due to Use_Error, I
guess).

For tracing I am using a GTK window, which is much simpler than text
tracing. It also allows to stop the application at the tracing point, catch
GTK/Glib errors with stack backtracing etc.

BTW, when running under GPS, output to the standard output works even with
-mwindows.

But the point was that -mwindows is just one example of what a library
project could like to pass to the clients.
