23	* PURPOSE OF THIS SAMPLE PROGRAM
24	* ------------------------------
25	*
26	* This sample program is intended to demonstrate the minimal code necessary
27	* to use VirtualBox XPCOM API for learning puroses only. The program uses
28	* pure XPCOM and doesn't have any extra dependencies to let you better
29	* understand what is going on when a client talks to the VirtualBox core
30	* using the XPCOM framework.
31	*
32	* However, if you want to write a real application, it is highly recommended
33	* to use our MS COM XPCOM Glue library and helper C++ classes. This way, you
34	* will get at least the following benefits:
35	*
36	* a) better portability: both the MS COM (used on Windows) and XPCOM (used
37	* everywhere else) VirtualBox client application from the same source code
38	* (including common smart C++ templates for automatic interface pointer
39	* reference counter and string data management);
40	* b) simpler XPCOM initialization and shutdown (only a single method call
41	* that does everything right).
42	*
43	* Currently, there is no separate sample program that uses the VirtualBox MS
44	* COM XPCOM Glue library. Please refer to the sources of stock VirtualBox
45	* applications such as the VirtualBox GUI frontend or the VBoxManage command
46	* line frontend.
47	*
48	*
49	* RUNNING THIS SAMPLE PROGRAM
50	* ---------------------------
51	*
52	* This sample program needs to know where the VirtualBox core files reside
53	* and where to search for VirtualBox shared libraries. Therefore, you need to
54	* use the following (or similar) command to execute it:
55	*
56	* $ env VBOX_XPCOM_HOME=../../.. LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../.. ./tstVBoxAPIXPCOM
57	*
58	* The above command assumes that VBoxRT.so, VBoxXPCOM.so and others reside in
59	* the directory ../../..
