The daft thing is, it turns out to actually be pretty easy to write some 
C++, make a DLL out of it, and call that from C#. The actual code that 
ended up in source control is both small and simple.

This belies the vast amount of man-hours it took to *arrive* at this 
final arrangement. It took an absurd amount of Google searches and 
trail-and-error to get the myriad of pieces to fit together just right.

In summary, it's easy when you know how. So easy, presumably, that 
nobody bothers to write down how it's actually done - so the next person 
who tries to do this will have the exact same problem. :-/
