Thanks for looking at this issue. The patch ready to go. If you don't make any
#defs, it should behave pretty much the same as before, except:

--CLSIDs are now case-insensitive
--Unmapped ActiveX Object will have service type "application/x-oleobject".

If you define DISABLE_ACTIVEX_TYPE_CONVERSION_MPLAYER2, for Windows Media
player object it will not try to map it to "application/x-mplayer2" plugin.
Thus if you have a plugin that can handle ActiveX Object, that plugin will be
created and initialize wmp control instead.

e.g.: 

<object classid="clsid:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" id="mmsplayer"
width="310" height="65"> 
  <PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="abc.mp3"> 
  <PARAM NAME="autoStart" VALUE="-1">
</object>

With the definition of DISABLE_ACTIVEX_TYPE_CONVERSION_MPLAYER2, this object
won't be rendered by plugin type "application/x-mplayer2". Instead, it will be
rendered by plugin type "application/x-oleobject".
