I should have said but this is _definitely_ not using GNAT/gcc... ;-)

Hmmm, ok, win32ada.lib in the path - rename a couple of other .lib files 
that gave 'duplicate' names and bingo! A linking and running program!

I had thought that making that visible would have caused more problems 
that it would solve (i.e. /every/ name being duplicated - I have an 
updated version of the Win32.* hierarchy which is largely 
'preelaborate'-ed) but so far so good...
