The C ABI is defined by /usr/include/at-spi-1.0/spi/Accessibility.h plus
the definitions of the various CORBA data types as defined by the OMG.

libspi.so includes a conformant implementation of that ABI.  It also
includes other things that are not normative, so the generated IDL
header should be the authoritative source here.  Of course to avoid
error the person(s) writing the conformance tests should be familiar
with the OMG CORBA standard.
