Yes, sort of. I have made, for the GNAT project, an implementation (~ 80%) of
the POSIX P1003.5 binding to Ada.

I know that it is not complete and some features I used was not portable and
some others was in conflic with the task system of Ada...

Anyway, at least 80% of the packages specifications are available via e-mail to
me.


Pascal.

PS : Somebody (Michael...) made some fixes to make my work more portable across
     compilers.
