[gtkada] installing Gtkada / GTK+ 2.0 in Ubuntu 9.04

[Rob Groen]

Don 't think I need 2.14 specifically. It was the version that Adacore 
on their Libre site provides.
I looked at the Synaptic package manager, but when I marked 
libgtkada2-dev then it showed an enormous list of additional required 
packages, including gnat 4.3, g++, X11 related etc etc, so that I 
thought that libgtkada2-dev was intended for Gtkada developers. i.e. 
people who work on and improve Gtkada, not a simple end user like me. 
Since I already installed GNAT I also was not sure in what way this 
could interfere. And since for GNAT there is only a doinstall, and not a 
douninstall, I am a bit reluctant to just do "rm -r /usr/gnat" ...)
(Note I want to migrate from Windows XP to Linux/Ubuntu. I have some 
past Unix experience but that was way back....)
