[Mono-list] Call managed from unmanaged code?

[rarthi]

Hi Jonathan,
Can you explain on this point a little more ? 

3. Mono does have some support for COM Interop, but note that there is
minimal to no tool support for generating the wrapper interfaces and interop
libraries.

>From some of your other posts, I understand that you added support for both
RCWs and CCWs in ComInterop for Mono. So, Im confused by your comment that
it has minimal to no tool support for generating the wrapper interfaces ? 

regards,
arthi.
