Background: Curt has COM on his list of not so good ideas because he's not sure it can be open and free.
In the short term I agree because it would be a distraction and the support isn't quite there.
In the longer term, I'm not so sure. COM is a pretty good solution for very efficent binary modularity. The Mozilla project has adopted it with their own implementation as XPCOM. There's a fairly new project:
http://www.armored.net/gcom/ to provide a portable, open source COM. We may want to keep these in mind for later use.
