Look here for XPCOM docs: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xpcom/ and
here for a Python Binding
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/Komodo/PyXPCOM/

I find it quite interessting, but never tried it... and PyXPCOM seems to
be quite old.

Maybe you could use the mozctl(x).dll, it seems to be embeddable into
other programs...
