Minimize dependencies

Achieve less dependencies for each class by

ensuring every function that accepts another instance of a COM class can also handle a raw pointer
the same for struct classes
ensuring every function that returns an instance of a COM class (or retrieves it via byRef) returns a raw pointer if the class is not available
the same for struct class fields
document this

This means helper classes / methods should

accept pointers for (nested) structures (NOT for VARIANTs)
output pointers (FromStructPtr()) if class is not available (applies to VARIANTs, too)
find some way to calculate size if nested structure classes are not available
