[python-win32] New win32com.client.VARIANT object

[Mark Hammond]

I just pushed a change which introduces a new win32com.client.VARIANT 
object.  This object can be used in some situations to control the 
specific types passed as parameters to COM objects and should address a 
relatively common problem people hit when COM objects are very picky 
about the types they accept.

I'm purposely being a little vague in this message about how it works to 
encourage people to check out the new documentation and see if it makes 
sense and describes how and when it can be useful.  The docs are at 
http://pywin32.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/pywin32/pywin32/raw-file/36b16bcc5c9a/com/win32com/HTML/variant.html 
(and will obviously be included in the help file in future builds)

If anyone has any general comments or comments on the documentation, I'm 
all ears!  I hope to release a new pywin32 within a few weeks with this 
feature, but if anyone has a specific usecase they would like to test it 
out on, please contact me privately with the version of Python you are 
using and I'll make a test build available.

Thanks,

Mark
