The true source is the C source code of GTK+ and its associated
libraries, including the annotations in the C files. GIR files are
generated from those sources, and binding.py generates Ada code from
the GIR files. binding.py is however unable to handle the GIR files
that are packaged in Fedora, which certainly counts as a specific and
notable downside to using those files. Therefore the GIR files that are
bundled in the GTKada source package are the closest to source that I
can get.

The generator, binding.py, is included in the GTKada source package,
but Python is indeed a prerequisite.
