Have you looked at XPConnect, which now optionally supports MS-COM 
objects including IDispatch, to a great extent (perhaps not all argument 
types and combinations, but the common ones)?  See 
http://www.mozilla.org/scriptable/ -- dbradley@netscape.com is the owner 
and he reads this group, so feel free to ask questions here (we don't 
have a mozilla.xpconnect group).
