java-atk-wrapper accessibility and openjdk9

[Fridrich Strba]

OK, I sent it to awt-dev:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/awt-dev/2017-October/013251.html

As usual, I was a bit more verbose then it was decent, but ... even my
wife is putting up with it, so it is not mortal.

Let us see what will come up. In the meantime, I would not mind if a
user used to the assistive technologies could try how this fares from
her point of view.

Cheers

Fridrich
