The problem of COM's reliance on vtable layout has been a major problem for
the Wine developers as well, IIRC. There was talk about changing GCC's
vtable layout to match MSVC++ for just this reason.

No, I am.  I was just curious.  This mainly relates to the discussion
about COM that I mentioned in a previous post.  My little bit of reading
suggests that it relies heavily on the consistency of the vtable layout.
That bothers me and I am trying to rationalize my discomfort.
