Very cool!

I hope to keep the API stable at least during and entire stable series,
starting with 2.6. Until 2.6 is really out, some minor changes might
indeed happen.

Since I don't have any C# experience, I can't comment on the actual
code, sorry :)

Btw, what license will you release your work under? It would be nice if
we could eventually integrate this into our repository, so users of
libabiword have one place to go to to get bindings for C, C++, C# and
Python.

Thanks for your interest in our lil' widget!
