Has anyone actually seen this control in-the-wild?  I have Visual C++ 6.0,
and Visual Basic 6.0 installed here (full installs, IIRC), and a search for
"*mcwndx*" on the entire hard drive (and the Visual C++ CD) turns up
nothing.  Does anyone here know what members of the Visual Studio suite (if
any) actually *do* ship an 'mcwndx.ocx' file?  Is it something that only SP4
installs?
