Edwin Groothuis 99af2876ad New port: adabindx - an Ada-binding to the X Window System and *tif
This is a binding of Ada to the C-Libraries of the X Window
	system and the Motif(tm) or Lesstif widget set.

	Programmers used to write X Window programs will easily use
	this binding. Most of the names for functions and procedures
	resemble the equivalent C interface names, e.g.

	   XGetRGBColormaps (C interface) <-> X_Get_RGB_Colormaps (Ada binding).

	"While retaining familiarity to the C interface, I tried
	to include the security of Ada by controlling the creation
	and release of pointer types wherever possible."
