[Lazarus] Accessibility enhacement request Lazarus version 1.7

[Mgr. Janusz Chmiel]

Because It is possible to use UIautomation in Lazarus. I have found out 
some unit if I Am correct.
Uiautomation is supported by Microsoft. But this approach have one 
little disadvantage. Such kind of IDE would not be usable on Windows XP.
But using Syslistwiev32, richedit, combo and similar classes inside 
whole code of Lazarus IDE is also very probably not possible.
I will patiently wait.
