it has already been decided that Emacs will not get a generic interface to call binary modules, in order not to make it legally feasible to employ it as a tightly coupled component in basically unfree systems.
Richard will have the definitive answer, but I don't think this applies to standard components of the OS.
But how can you tell if an object is a standard component in the OS or not? AFAIK anybody can make ActiveX/COM-objects. Much like shared libraries on Unix.
