With IA2 (work in progress), OOo will detect a running screen reader.

But there won't be any changes to the current/old JAA based
solutionwhich will go once we have IA2.

Even if we did that one change (detecting the screen reader), we
wouldn't download and install java+bridge, but only turn on the check
box implicitly.
