These tend to cost $$$, as MS typically licenses the technology to 3rd
parties, and you must buy it off them.  AFAIK, all COM implementation on
*nix work this way.

OTOH, Python itself would seem an excellent bridge.  It has great COM
support, and although I have never seen or used the ILU support, it too is
rumoured to be pretty good :-)

May be an excellent opportunity for someone...
