I made a wish, wrote a letter to Santa...

[Boaz Harrosh]

Was it someone (from ROS) that said they had an "Internet explorer" 
replacement written in C++ ?
Was that a shell-folder explorer or an iexplorer type of application. 
Can it be made to support "Internet Explorer" controls.
(the "Shell.Explorer"/IWebBrowser2 one, that can be placed in user 
applications to display HTML files).

What is the situation with MinGW/cygwin on ROS/windows fronts is it able 
to build any kind of fully qualified ActiveX controls?
Is there any free (beer is good to) compilers that can build fully 
qualified ActiveX controls?
What is the situation on Wine. can widl or any other tool produce a 
proper .TLB structure?
Can a ready made .TLB file (from VC++) be in any way associated (in 
registry) or linked to an ELF compiled dll(control) ?

any comments or pointers will be appreciated.
