XPCOM is designed as an application framework rather than
a system framework so it does not support this directly.
Basically, you will need to do your own marshalling
of data across process boundaries. As for multi-language
support, that much XPCOM takes care of for you through XPConnect
for Javascript, Blackconnect for Java, and PyXPCOM for Python.
Also, take a look at the SOAP related XPCOM components - they
might be used to construct your own proxy.
