Remarks
This interface must be implemented on all VSPackage classes. Visual Studio uses this interface to call on the VSPackage for services it might provide. Most extensions start out by loading a VSPackage, which is sited to the environment. The calling VSPackage is handed a pointer to a service provider.
Notes to Implementers
Implement IVsPackage whenever you initialize a VSPackage.
If a package needs to block shutdown of the IDE it should implement IVsPackage2.
