Create a base class with a non-reference counted implementation of iunknown
<![CDATA[
If I want automatic garbage collection with interfaces, I use
TInterfacedObject as base class. What should I use,
if I don't want automatic destruction?
is there a similar common base class or do I
have to implement the IInterface methods myself?
I use this one:{== BaseNonRefcountIntfObjU
===========================================}
{: This unit provides a base class with a non-reference counted
implementation of IUnknown.
