Am I right in reading into this, the fact that the universal gateway
is only for *implementing* general vtable interfaces (as one poster
mentioned)? If so, is there a way to *call* an arbitrary interface?
(Actually, I imagine that this should be possible using calldll plus a
reasonable amount of arcane pointer arithmetic, but it sounds like it
could be a bit messy and error prone...)
