I've tried to get a hold of Ruud via email once or twice in the past few months, to get him to comment on this kind of stuff... unfortunately, he has not responded to either my emails or any posts here on the forums.

If it's any consolation, I made a number of posts about integrating Powershell with Kix in the Com forums. It's not perfect, but it provides some access to things like .net that we currently do not have.
