The easiest way to add COM support to Squeak is to implement an IDispatch
client. This will provide access to 99% of COM components.

The minimal sufficient set of code required would cover:
COM initialization
VARIANT handling
IUnknown::QueryInterface, AddRef, Release
IDispatch::GetIDsOfNames, Invoke
