Hi Jerry, I've spotted your bindings to ada already some time ago. Normally such bindings go into the bindings directory (in the ada case, bindings/ada), and since swig doesn't seem to support ada, your effort was the only possible.
Anyway, I don't know much ada, but how is this supposed to work? Which files of your work are actually really needed? How is ada told then where it can find the bindings? How does ada than find the plplot library? It seems that ada can use libraries directly? On which platforms (Windows, Linux, MacOSX) is the ada bindings supposed to work? Could you provide a cookbook what is needed to make the bindings work (for persons who never used ada)? And would it also possible for you to port the examples which you can find in the examples directory to ada examples (using the thin bindings)?
