Since the AtkAttributeSet will return a name-value list, it will need to be freed
by the caller.  Shouldn't the function be "atk_text_ref_attribute_bounds"?

Also I propose using the glib "keyed data lists" to return the name/value pairs.  So
we can typedef the AtkAttributeSet to a glib keyed data list in atktext.h.
