We would like to include modules 'gail' and 'at-spi', both of which
should be functioning correctly against the current build of gnome-2.

I have sent packages to Sander.

gail 0.1 : exports no public API

at-spi-0.1 : not 100% API frozen, but IDL should be frozen 
             barring API bugfixes and API additions.
	We may add additional language bindings in the near term.
	We hope that, since nobody depends on this API yet (except us),
	we can be forgiven some degree of slush in this library.
