My Design Goals (for Potential Contributors):
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
minimal Ada on their machines.
Specifically, I prefer to NOT require Windows users to install MINGW.
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 prefer to NOT require users to install nonstandard
libraries or 3rd party utilities in order to execute my apps.
