[Lazarus] Implementing COM interfaces

[Sven Barth]

I've looked at the link you mentioned, but the interesting documents 
seem to be not accessable currently...

Nevertheless on Linux the topic would be handled by using the stuff 
provided by the widgetset. E.g. for the GTK2 widgetset there is the ATK 
(Accessibilty ToolKit). I don't know what is needed to implement it or 
the equivalent for Qt.

Regards,
Sven
