Hi Roger.

Just to note, Fuenty is my last name (I do Last, First style in my 
EMail, my first email came like that, so I allways stuck to it.  Feel 
free to call me Chris).

Second, the IDL files come with WebKit.  So you need to view those and 
alter my code to update the functions in the IDL COM interface files.  
If you want, feel free to EMail me privately (Sorry if this offends 
anyone on the webkit team) to get more information on how my code works 
and to get push access to the webkit.net repo, if you want to update 
that code.  I'll be more than willing to talk to you via MSN or IRC.  
I'm usually found in #Webkit on freenode under the nick Zimmy.
