+Most of these are now fixed, the last remaining problem is an mcs
+bug/missing feature:
+
+Given this code:
+
+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
+using System;
+using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
+
+    [ComImport, GuidAttribute("E5CB7A31-7512-11D2-89CE-0080C792E5D8")]
+    public class CorMetaDataDispenserExClass { }
+
+    [ComImport, GuidAttribute("31BCFCE2-DAFB-11D2-9F81-00C04F79A0A3"),
+CoClass(typeof(CorMetaDataDispenserExClass))]
+    public interface MetaDataDispenserEx { }
+
+public class Test {
+	
+	public static void Main () {
+		Object o = new MetaDataDispenserEx ();
+	}
+}
+<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
+
+csc accepts the 'new' statement, even through it names an interface,
+if the interface is decorated with [ComImport]. It generates code
+like this:
+
+ IL_0000:  nop
+  IL_0001:  newobj     instance void CorMetaDataDispenserExClass::.ctor()
+  IL_0006:  castclass  MetaDataDispenserEx
+  IL_000b:  stloc.0
+  IL_000c:  ret
