Havoc (and all)

can you include libgail and at-spi ?  Both were working with recent
builds
(contingent on API breakage in the past 72 hours).  I can work with you
to synchronize on versions so we have a working stack.

(P.S. - you may want to build libgail when changing GTK+ API, if you are
trying to make a package or tarball).
