+ GAIL provides accessibility support for gtk+ and libgnomecanvas by
+ implementing AtkObjects for widgets in gtk+ and
+ libgnomecanvas. The GAIL library is a GTK+ module. For example, if
+ the module is loaded in a program which calls
+ gtk_widget_get_accessible() for a GtkEntry an instance of
+ GailEntry is returned. This module is normally used with the
+ atk-bridge GTK+ module from at-spi to allow an assistive
+ technology, e.g a screenreader, to query or drive the program.
