My Design Goals (for Potential Contributors):

I dislike both Microsoft and Apple because of the freedoms and privacy they deny me, and I fully support the F.S.F.
Thusly, I choose to minimize my involvment with their esoteric OS's. Still, I want to reach their large audiences with my programs.
I dislike both Microsoft and Apple because of the freedoms and privacy
they deny me; I fully support the F.S.F. [Free Software Foundation].
Thusly, I choose to minimize my involvment with their esoteric OS's.
Still, I want my Apps to reach their large audiences, if possible.

My design goals are to
A) require NOTHING of mere users, and
B) for rebuilders/developers, require only that they install Ada on their machines.
B) for rebuilders/developers, require only that they install
minimal Ada on their machines.

Specifically, I do not wish to require Windows users to install MINGW. Thusly, and for other reasons,
I choose to avoid Makefiles. Gpr build files are fine, but I am more familiar with script/bat files.

Thusly, and for other reasons, I choose to avoid Makefiles.
Even gpr build files require more than a minimal Ada installation.
So I choose to use script/bat files.

Furthermore, I do not wish to require users to install nonstandard libraries or 3rd party utilities in order to execute my apps.
