For half a second I was ready to fling
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html.
at you - then I realized that grepping the web (or even the cygwin.com
corner of it) for COM is a nontrivial proposition.
I don't know from COM, but this message
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-05/msg00257.html
indicates that, even in antiquity, a program (Perl, in this case) compiled
under Cygwin with gcc was able to use COM. The bread crumbs led me here:
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC95
where I see ole32 in the list (as I said, I don't know from COM, but a
brief surf and a test compile led me to believe that ole32.dll contains at
least some of the COM-related functions you need. I bet you can find any
others that COM requires.).
