[Mono-dev] Mono and ole32.dll

[Quandary]

What exactly are you trying to accomplish ?
What's that COM-dll supposed to do ?
Is it really irreplacable ?
In my experience, it was never necessary, except to accomplish windows
specific things, such as switching off the windows firewall, in which
case a simple if(!Environment.OSVersion.Platform == Platformid.Unix)
would suffice.

Using COM is however not a recommended practice. If there is another
way, you should use that one.
For embedding browsers and office file-format interop, there are other ways.
