  We should collect this kind of tutorial and put them on the website. ;)

I'm sorry if it is too funny, I just thought it could be a simple enough
basic tutorial. If you are asking whether many people are interested
particularly in Ada, then I don't think so. Ada here is just an
illustration of "whatever unusual thing you need - you can do it with LLVM
easily by pipelining different components".

Anyway, if you think it could be useful for the website, please let me know
what should be changed or re-worked, in order to do so.

Thanks,
- D.

This is very cool!  I like how it shows a very simple way to enable GPU
programming in Ada using a minimum of code.  At the very least, it deserves
a link from the LLVM website.
