Using GetActiveObject of OLEAUT32.DLL

Since I found only one question about getting an active COM instance
(http://discuss.develop.com/archives/wa.exe?A2=ind0112A&L=JAWIN&P=R118&I=-3)
and no answer/solution to that posting, I implemented it myself
on top of jawin-2.0-alpha1.

I did it by creating a new Class OleAut32 in the org.jawin.win32 package,
with one public method

    public static IUnknown GetActiveObject(String progID)
        throws COMException


The method implementation needs access to Ole32.CLSIDFromProgID, which I
changed from private to package access.

My questions now are:

Is there already a widely accepted solution to this problem, without
changing the JAWIN source?
If not, are the JAWIN maintainers willing to incorporate my code?

Thanks in advance.
