Summary: Added GlobalInterface Table and more Safearray Variant Types

Initial Comment:
Until now only IStream marshalling was supported by
pythoncom. This is not sufficient for all marshalling
tasks. 
Therefore I patched the pythoncom DLL which allows now
to create a Global Interface Table Object and access
the IGlobalInterfaceTable interface.
Secondly some VARIANT types where missing in the
SafeArray support.  This list was now extended.

The new and changed files and a GIT test are attached.

The change you are unsure about is already included in 
another way, see
line 519 Oleargs.cpp
if (lObjectSize==0)
     return lReturnDimension+1;

Very sorry about the delay in getting to this.  The
SafeArray ones are out of date, but I have checked in the
GIT ones (without pythoncom.CreateGIT() - see testGIT for
how this should be done.

However, I'm a little unsure about the change in oleargs.cpp:

		else {
			// Just an empty list so increase Dimension
			lReturnDimension += 1;
		}

Is a test case possible for this?

Thanks,

Mark
