No, it isn't. It's possible to build a Unix library that emulates the
Windows COM implementation - as we did it in our projects
(https://github.com/sillsdev/libcom), and a mapping of oleaut32.dll to
that library.

The code in the pull request deals with the possibility that there is no
suitable COM implementation available, but if there is it'll make use of it.
