These are first steps, which I intended to eventually carry out, but I was occupied with many other things. Because Davorin Lesnik has produced a very nice PhD thesis taking this as a starting point, under the advice of Andrej Bauer, I decided to make my unfinished paper publicly available (it may contain mistakes, particularly in the claims left without proofs).
