VBA addin versus true plugin

Hi,
My company has me working on some add-ins for MS Office. One thing I noticed the other day, is that when installing the Macromedia Breeze for PowerPoint, it adds functionality to PowerPoint, and creates a new menu/submenu, but doesn't show in the "addins" list. I'm assuming this is because they are probably installing some COM dll files rather than a VBA PPA file. I was wondering if someone could give me some guidance on where to look to find out more information about creating DLL plugins. We're looking to go beyond the functionality exposed by the PowerPoint object model (specifically, trying to find a way to export animations like Macromedia Breeze does).
Thanks for any suggestions.
Jeff
