I made something which uses the Jacob library which seems to be mildly 
compatible with win32ole (I had a script I had written against win32ole 
and it continued to work with JRuby).   I will do a quick stab at 
landing something really really preliminary for JRuby 1.3.   We can 
figure out what is missing at that point and probably start trying to 
support this library in more earnest.
