26	* PURPOSE OF THIS SAMPLE PROGRAM
27	* ------------------------------
28	*
29	* This sample program is intended to demonstrate the minimal code necessary
30	* to use VirtualBox XPCOM API for learning puroses only. The program uses
31	* pure XPCOM and doesn't have any extra dependencies to let you better
32	* understand what is going on when a client talks to the VirtualBox core
33	* using the XPCOM framework.
34	*
35	* However, if you want to write a real application, it is highly recommended
36	* to use our MS COM XPCOM Glue library and helper C++ classes. This way, you
37	* will get at least the following benefits:
38	*
39	* a) better portability: both the MS COM (used on Windows) and XPCOM (used
40	* everywhere else) VirtualBox client application from the same source code
41	* (including common smart C++ templates for automatic interface pointer
42	* reference counter and string data management);
43	* b) simpler XPCOM initialization and shutdown (only a signle method call
44	* that does everything right).
45	*
46	* Currently, there is no separate sample program that uses the VirtualBox MS
47	* COM XPCOM Glue library. Please refer to the sources of stock VirtualBox
48	* applications such as the VirtualBox GUI frontend or the VBoxManage command
49	* line frontend.
50	*
51	*
52	* RUNNING THIS SAMPLE PROGRAM
53	* ---------------------------
54	*
55	* This sample program needs to know where the VirtualBox core files reside
56	* and where to search for VirtualBox shared libraries. Therefore, you need to
57	* use the following (or similar) command to execute it:
58	*
59	* $ env VBOX_XPCOM_HOME=../../.. LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../.. ./tstVBoxAPILinux
60	*
61	* The above command assumes that VBoxRT.so, VBoxXPCOM.so and others reside in
62	* the directory ../../..
