/**
* IIDs and CIDs (aka CLSIDs) are 32 digit hexadecimal numbers, called Globally
* Unique IDs (GUIDs) as a whole. They should only be generated by a trusted
* guid generator. GUID generatoration algorithms rely on parameters such as
* the MAC address of your NIC, and the date/time of GUID creation to ensure
* that no two GUIDs are ever the same. The Windows program 'uuidgen' is one
* way to create these numbers. The Unix alternative is probably out there
* somewhere.
*
* NS_DEFINE_IID and NS_DEFINE_CID expand to define static IID/CID objects
* that will be used later. IID and CID objects are of the same type, the
* distinction between InterfaceID and ClassID is made strictly by what the
* ID represents, and not by any binary differences.

/**
* SampleFactoryImpl is a factory capable of creating nsSampleImpl objects.
* It is the factory, as opposed to the class, which actually registers itself
* with the XPCOM runtime, in a conversation that goes something like,
* XPCOM: "Hello factory at <path-name>, what can you do for me?",
* FACTORY: "Hello XPCOM, I can create the classes named <progID>:<CID>,
* and <progID>:<CID> and ...". This conversation is initiated when XPCOM calls
* into the static NSRegisterSelf function of the shared library that houses this
* factory. Once this factory is properly registered, XPCOM can work it's magic.
* After registration, any call into the Service Manager or Component Manager's
* CreateInstance method requesting a progID or CID that this factory has
* registered will cause XPCOM to call the static NSGetFactory function in
* the .so, .dll, .whatever associated with this factory (if it hasn't already
* done so), and then invoke the CreateInstance method of the resulting factory.
