Hi Arno:

Since Atk is, technically, a set of interface definitions and APIs, I 
think that in order to be useful one would need to provide a binding for 
most all of the public API calls.  In particular, all of the public 
methods of

atkobject.h
atkaction.h
atkcomponent.h
atktext.h
atkeditabletext.h
atkimage.h
atkselection.h
atktable.h
atkvalue.h
atkrelation.h
atkrelationset.h
atkstate.h

perhaps less frequently used at the moment:

atkhypertext.h
atkimage.h
atkstreamablecontent.h
atkhyperlink.h

Most of the public methods in atkutil.h would need to be supported as 
well, I think.

regards,

-Bill
