I think NN is complaining about how difficult it is to use existing COM classes
from D. It is a lot of trouble right now.

I think that Juno (http://www.dsource.org/projects/juno) has the potential to make
COM a lot simpler in D, but it hasn't officially caught up to D 1.0 yet, and I
like to work with more current versions of the DMD compiler. So I'm hoping that
Juno's author returns and updates Juno. In the meantime, another user (oldrev)
came up with an update
(http://www.dsource.org/projects/juno/wiki/UserContributions). I plan to use
oldrev's work to come up with some more examples, but my plans often get sidetracked.
