[Scons-users] COM Types Implementation for VS2017 Discovery

[Dean Glazeski]

As an update, I've started a new pull request that pulls the COM API work
into SCons.  I might be missing the added dependency, but I couldn't find a
list of dependencies anywhere in the setup.py.  Is there another place I
should be looking?
