-	  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.
