I haven't, but I'll make a note to look into it.

Not being able to find xpcom.dll causes the "import xpcom._xpcom" test
to fail, one of the lessons I've learned today.

It turns out that the problem was that I was using Mozilla 1.7.3.  The
PyXPCOM builds from Thomas Shilz are built against Mozilla 1.7.  When
I installed the older version of mozilla, things started to work.

After I fixed the typos in Uche Ogbuji's sample code, I managed to get
my first objects installed and tested.

As soon as I convince myself that this really is working, I'll post a
little summary of where to download things in order to get a binary
pyxpcom installation working under windows.

Thanks for the reply Brad,
