[Kde-accessibility] Accessible objects without Atk dependencies

[Willie Walker]

Sorry - I wrote the wrong thing.  I've been in the middle of working  
on a more complete list of Orca dependencies and my brain is muddled  
more than usual.

It's PyORBit that I meant to write.  It automagically converts IDL  
into bindings for Python and provides a Pythonic object model for the  
IDL.
