And todays problem...
The source line that is failing is: template <class T, const IID* piid =
&__uuidof(T)>

The C++ keyword "__uuidof()" which is defined at http://www.msdn.com as: "The
__uuidof keyword retrieves the 
GUID attached to the expression. The expression can be a type name, pointer,
reference, or array of that type,
a template specialized on these types, or a variable of these types. The
argument is valid as long as the 
compiler can use it to find the attached GUID.   A special case of this
intrinsic is when either 0 or 
NULL is supplied as the argument. In this case, __uuidof will return a GUID made
up of zeros.  Use this keyword to 
extract the GUID attached to:  An object by the uuid extended attribute or A
library block created with 
the module attribute."

That can be worked around by suppling the guid manually.

Yes, this was one of the reasons why it stopped the port about 4 years 
ago...
