Re: rehabilitating Juno
FYI after running coffimplib over SDK versions of oleaut32.lib and gdiplus.lib I've gotten all the examples in the makefile to run. Next up for me is to get tlbimpld compiling and I'll fork and do a pull request to add that to the makefile.

I remember seeing some slides on another COM library for D2 a while ago. Was that effort ever open-sourced? IIRC it was a Microsoft employee using D with WinRT[1]. He did not open-source his work. I think Juno was pretty much on par with ease of use, but I never got to the point of doing a direct comparison (now that I have Windows 8 I think it would be possible) http://www.lunesu.com/index.php?/archives/126-Modern-COM-Programming-in-D.html Anyway, Juno does work in 32 bit, I think 64 bit is close. If I actually had a problem to solve with COM I'd probably be working out the kinks. But I want to give credit to Richard Webb for providing solutions for several COM integration problems. I've just been deprecating things and keeping it compiling for the latest compiler.

Feel free to give me scutwork if that will help get Juno back into orbit. I should be able to bring the repository up to latest dmd compiler (I'll see what I can do this weekend). If I recall the situation was that utilizing COM was working, a COM service could be created but I couldn't get the security cert to work. I believe I had it compiling under 64bit but couldn't run any of the examples. Once I get some examples compiling again in 32bit, it should be easier for you to play around with COM in D.
