I've seen mention of the Oxxi effort before, but other than someone saying that
they saw "AmigaAda" on a piece of Oxxi letterhead, have seen no indication 
that such a product is actually in development.  Oxxi does not market Ada 
compilers for any other computers, so it would appear that this is a new
field for them - the Ada validation process is a step in compiler development
somewhat different from other language compilers, and IMHO unless an Ada
compiler passes validation, there is not much use in marketing it.
