Well, their IDL is at fault, and it clearly should be marked as [in,out].
All we should need to do is to get the makepy generated code for this
function, and change the last "type tuple" for this function.  It will be a
tuple of, eg (pythoncom.VT_OBJECT, pythoncom.PARAMFLAG_FIN).  Telling Python
it is really _FIN | _FOUT should do the trick.
