I think the closest equivalent to your specification is TextTools
[1,2].  It is a library working on top of curses and supports both of
the systems you mention. However, as the name implies, it only deals
with text-mode interfaces (with mouse).  If you need a graphical
interface, you will have to write a library on top of either GtkAda
[3,4] or QtAda[5].  HTH
