As an aside, you might also consider going the route of providing  
your bindings independently of the PLplot project. This is what I  
choose to do for the Lisp bindings (cl-plplot) that I wrote, and this  
was also done for the Perl bindings. This particularly makes sense if  
there is a central code repository for Ada, such as CPAN for Perl,  
and if Ada bindings load a pre-existing PLplot library (as do Perl  
and Lisp) rather than having to be compiled with the PLplot (Fortran,  
C++).
