AbiWord uses more of a methodology than an actual library.  The code that
I looked through appeared to be AbiWord-specific; the source comes with a
"Hello, world" sample that contains its own application framework (af)
directory and its own helloworld-specific code.  A presentation on the
methodology is online at
