I am for supporting ActiveX. This is not against developing
cross-platform, rather it's precisely for it. Some of the support for
ActiveX could be invisible to us and handle things on Windows that
are handled different ways on other platforms; other support could be
specific to ActiveX capabilities.
So I think it would be a good thing, and open up a lot of
possibilities. But whether there is time to do it and it should be
prioritized over other features is another question. Not sure....
