accessibility_bridge

Bare minimum bridging for MRI to easily use Cocoa objects. The intended use for this code is as a support for other gems that require some bridging to Cocoa stuff.

This was extracted from the accessibility_core project and is a work-in-progress.

Usage

Currently, integrating the bridge into your project is a bit awkward. You will need to add the accessibility_bridge gem to your project as a dependency and then also #include "bridge.c" from the ext/accessibility/bridge directory (by copying the file or creating a git submodule). Finally, you will need to call Init_bridge() in the init function for your own C extension.

You can see how accessibility_core does this by inspecting the code in that project.

Any patches from people who know what they're doing that smooth out this process are welcome.
