Hi,

I think we already have an implementation for the OLE provided IStorage
implementation. The others I'm not sure about.

I don't understand, sorry. ATL is a set of C++ convenience wrappers around
COM and is redistributable. All the infrastructure for displaying embedded
OLE/AcitveX controls is already in Wine... do you think we're missing
something?

Does OLE provide such a beast? I've never encountered it if so, only the
standard compound document IStorage impl. If Windows provides an IStorage
that goes to /dev/null we should implement that too.

Yes, it can be confusing.
