IIRC (have a look at the ChangeLog) it wasn't possible to compile
__ComObject to "please" corcompare in every case (CLS compliance issue).

If it was (*) internal then it was added because something "needed" it
(probably the status page as nothing, source wise, seems to depends on
it right now).

(*) That was prior to 1.1 SP1. Right now I can't find it in mscorlib.xml
masterinfos (both 1.1 SP1 and 2.0 beta2).

If this fixes the class status (extra) and doesn't change the tests
results then please feel free to remove this file from the builds.

Thanks
