Hi Eric,
        if it doesn't break anything, you might want to apply this patch
to ObjectHandler. It fixes a strange problem with the C++ addin. At
least with VC++7 (I didn't check other compilers) if you pass a string
literal to a function expecting a Variant, it calls the Variant(const
bool&) constructor. Why it should think that conversion better than the
std::string one is beyond me...
