Out of interest, what's your motivation for using intrusive_ptr over the
smart pointer facilities (via #import of your COM DLL/EXE) provided by
Visual Studio?  I quite like the smart pointer stuff; it almost makes
COM-related programming half tolerable.  You'd lose the benefits of
things like IntelliSense completion for COM types if you wrolled your
own wrapper, I would think.
