COM support

[Adam Shirey <adam.shirey@gmail.com>]

As I'm sure many members of the REALbasic community are probably
already aware (especially if you're a Windows developer), RB lacks
support for COM, which hinders the ability for developers on all three
platforms to access a wealth of existing functionality. Though those
of us developing for Windows are certainly hardest hit by this
shortcoming. Bob Keeney has a nice succinct post with some comments
>from heavy hitters that I think a lot of folks on the NUG will be
interested in:

I would consider COM functionality to be paramount to Windows
development. It's, arguably, as bad or worse than not having declare
support would be, as Windows puts a sizable portion of its
functionality in COM... Not to mention .NET could also become
available. I think adding COM support would be a pretty quick and
definitely big win for REALbasic.

I encourage everyone to check out Bob's post and take part in the discussion.
