Hmm... OCXes /IS/ a problem I didn't think of... Maybe we can use a module for
OCX support that has a bit of code from Wine or something... As far as
compiling OCXes is concerned, I think we'll have to make it write it in Windows
format for compatibility... I'm pretty sure Wine must have documentation of the
Windows executable format...
