[ANNOUNCE] GtkAda 1.2.3

[Arnaud Charlet <charlet ACT-Europe FR>]

GtkAda 1.2.3 release
--------------------

GtkAda is an Ada95 graphical toolkit based on Gtk+ version 1.2.x. It
allows you to develop graphical applications in Ada95 using Gtk+.

Currently, all widgets  of the Gtk+ 1.2 series have  been bound. The
binding  for the Gdk part is not complete yet, but is already pretty
much in place.

To test our toolkit, the testgtk program has been almost completely 
re-implemented and is also distributed.
