>From what I've seen Real doesn't actually use COM for its plugins,
instead it uses their own version of COM. On a Windows platform, I
believe that they do actually use COM, but they have a wrapper around
it. On non-windows platforms, they just use something that looks like
COM, from a code perspective. They don't use (or rather, they don't
seem to use) functions such as CoCreateInstance. They also don't use
the windows registry to register the plugin interfaces, which is why
they all must be in the same directory.
