[Lazarus] Implementing COM interfaces

[Lubos Pintes]

Oh I was a bit wrong when I told that IA2 is suported on Linux. Maybe it 
is, but I am not totally sure. Read about it briefly here:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/accessibility/iaccessible2

The open-source screen reader Nvda supports this standard. For example 
Firefox and Eclipse are perfectly usable.
So I think that it would be suitable enough for Lazarus also, if that is 
possible.
