[Mono-dev] [PATCH] patches that allow calling mono_init_com_types from native using ICall's.

[Kornél Pál]

Hi,

Please implement initialization in unmanaged native code for 
GetIUnknownForObject and QueryInterface rather than exposing a private 
method that has to be called. COM interop should be compatible with 
MS.NET and this is a bug that should be fixed rather than worked around 
by exposing and externally calling an internal initialization function.

Thanks.

Kornél
