I doubt that it'll ever be as easy as VB, but once we start using the lib, I
think we'll figure out good ways to wrap everything.  I left it fairly bare
bones on purpose, so it would be easy to add better wrappers later.

Right now I'm looking at CodeMax, a code editor control.  However, I'm sorta
looking for a break from COM for a few days. :)

Actually, a big goal of mine is to write something to automatically wrap any
COM object for EuCOM.  In the mean time, it's not too dificult, as long as
you have the CLSID for a control.  Also, some might not support the
IPersistStreamInit interface, and might need another way to initialize them.
Not a major problem, but something to remember.

Sometimes, neither did I.  I'm just waiting for MTS to admit that he's not
the best at everything: "If I can't do it, no one can." :)
