This is indeed one possibility.
Writing a tool that converts C to Ada for XPM files should be trivial,
actually I wrote such a tool years ago.

We (the GtkAda authors) will probably include such a tool in a future
version of GtkAda.

Even better, Ada 95 is one of the best language when you need to interface
with foreign languages, so this is indeed trivial.
