First we need DispatchInterface support in the compiler.
I am currently cooperating with someone on ActiveX, and it's a big mess
if you use the bare COM interfaces.
To be able to work with it easily, we need IDispatch support, which we
don't have currently.
Meanwhile I know how it works, so I could cooperate with Florian or
Peter to finish the IDispatch support in the compiler.
Till this is done, it makes little or no sense to create ActiveX components.
What could be done already is create a IDL (or type library) to pascal
converter, to create the necessary interfaces for all ActiveX components.
Once the interfaces are created, it should be easy to add the ActiveX
components.
