Thanks for this.  The original windows api header port has 
disappeared from the original source, but I used Rikki 
Cattermole's fork.  Worked fine, except I had to change const for 
GUID in a couple of places.

Do you have any thoughts on automating the generation of IDL 
files?  If I understand correctly, I need these to be able to 
call a COM object from a dynamic language like VB.  Or did you 
just generate these by hand when you called from javascript ?
