[Mingw-users] Missing COM functionality

[Jim S. <ni...@ab...>]

I've been doing some COM stuff involving threads and it appears that the
Global Interface Table functionality is missing from Mingw.  A grep of
the headers doesn't show GlobalInterFaceTable anywhere.  Can anyone tell
me if

a) the functionality exists

b) if it doesn't exist, is it being worked on

c) if it doesn't exist and isn't being worked on, how do I work on it so
it will exist?

I'm not a C++ or COM guru, so I would need some sort of primer on how to
create the required header files etc.  The prime culprit that is missing
is the uuid.h file.
