The plan seems to be to not use COM for wined3d anymore, mainly
because the layering of d3d87/8/9 on top of wined3d is causing some
problems with reference counts. Those could probably be solved by
using eg aggregation, but I think the general feeling is that COM only
makes things harder in wined3d.
