Right now I try the Cygwin Toolchain with

                declare -x CC=D:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe;
                declare -x ADA=D:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe;

and see what happens.

The real pity is the fact that the Windows user forked Cygwin. The Cygwin guys 
doing more in the tools side of live. They have a cool installer, a newer 
bash, a full X suite etc. pp.

However, the MinGW guys doing more on the compiler side of live, they have the 
newer (3.4.2) compiler. Cygwin only have 3.3.3.

AFAIK AdaCore is using MinGW - so I consider that the main Ada platform for 
windows.
