You can, but what is the gain ? I would use AWS/SOAP or GLADE (which has
for more features). For light communication you can also use the 
AWS.Communication.[Client|Server] API.

But I think the best way would be SOAP (Open API). You publish the API then
another project written in whatever language will be able to play with your
game.

Of course ! :-)

You have nothing to do. No setup at all (this is a nice win from AWS, you
can embedded everything into your program). You would provide a GtkAda
dialog to set the server name for distant player and decide to be either
joining a game (client) or creating a new one (server).

You're welcome.

If you have proposal to "fix" the manual do not hesitate. This is by far the
weakest point of AWS :)
