<h2>Importtypelib Task</h2>
<h3><a name="description">Description</a></h3>
<p>Import a COM type library into the .NET framework.</p>
<p> This task is a wrapper to .NET's tlbimport; it imports a tlb
file to a NET assembly by generating a binary assembly (.dll) that
contains all the binding metadata. It uses date timestamps to
minimise rebuilds.</p>
