	You get to re-write a huge chunk of the Gnome infrastructure for
accessibility, simply because most of the interesting behaviors are tied
to the widget set. I would very strongly recommend porting to gtk+ as a
better solution.

	You have to get a handle to the registry; read at-spi/atk-bridge/*.

	You should implement an Accessible per Accessible object.

	You need to be if you plan to implement an entirely new accessible
toolkit - you're getting into a really big task. I'd strongly recommend
re-targeting to gtk+ - which is rather a nice toolkit anyway IMHO.
