A set of packages has been added to AdaWin called CreateCOM*. These packages
support easy COM Object creation and abstract away 80% of COM in the
creation of COM objects. When the CreateCOM tools is complete, almost no
knowledge of COM will be needed to create COM objects under Ada as it will
generate the specs and bodies for most of the COM object.

The multi interface Beep object is again recreated in the available example
on the COM page of AdaPower as both InProc (DLL) and LocalServer (EXE)
versions along with a test client.

All of the COM object container logic is in either CreateCOM.Inproc or
CreateCOM.Local_Server.

The logic for QueryInterface and other IUnknown support is in
CreateCOM.COMInterface.

The IClassFactory logic is in CreateCOM.Factory.

The example is available at http://www.adapower.com/com
