-        Reverse the typelib and registry writing order to make proxy stub work.
-
-        A few things are ganging up on us here:
-            - A Typelib element is translated into a typelib table entry.
-            - While a Interface element is translated into a registry table
-              entry.
-            - The typelib table is by default processed after writing the
-              registry table.
-            - The typelib processing will set the ProxyStubClsid32 to a
-              dynamic builtin one that uses the typelib, thus overwriting
-              that bit of intformation from our interface elements (the
-              NumMethods bit is kept, go figure).
-           (- If we set the Advertise attribute on the Typelib element to
-              no, we may get a bit futher with ProxyStubClsid32, but we
-              end up with VBoxC being using instead of VBoxSVC. At least
-              in one of the configurations attempted)
-
-        The whole point of the proxy stub DLLs is to not use the default
-        dynamic proxy stub from OLE that loads+parses the typelib each time
-        it creates proxies/stubs.  There are two workarounds:
-            1. Don't use the typelib and interface elements, but instead emit
-               plain registry entries (heat.exe can help).
-            2. Make the registry writing happen after the typelib registration.
-
-        Going with option two for now.
-
-        ASSUMES RegisterTypeLibraries has sequence number 5500 and
-        WriteRegistryValues 5000.  Modifies both.
-     -->
-    <RegisterTypeLibraries Sequence="4999"/>
-    <WriteRegistryValues Sequence="5501"/>
