My thinking here is that we could treat the work you've done like we
treat Dee/BAMF/etc and just have a thin wrapper around the few APIs that
you make available to the rest of Unity in C++. That would let us keep
the code that you've already worked on, but allow nicer usage of it
through the wrapper.

Obviously if it would mean we end up wrapping most of ATK, then atkmm is
a much better solution and we can add a dependancy, but if it's only a
small chunk gluing the main views to your code, then a wrapper would
work fine.
