Libatspi is more or less equivalent to the old cspi, although the API was 
changed to work easily with gobject-introspection. A C library originally 
wasn't considered a priority, since most ATs were using pyatspi, but in 
the end it made sense to have a C library anyhow, as the original attempt 
at a Python module was too slow, so it was better to have a C library with 
a Python binding.
