It's unrelated to original problem here, but please keep in mind that
other work on widl should also be done before switching to IDL files.
Currently IDL-generated files are not really compatible with MSVC
non-IDL-generated COM headers because widl adds some stuff like default
includes. We probably need some way (command like arg or some tricky
argument in IDL file) to instruct widl to generate pure headers. This
may not be a big deal for Wine (and we ignored it for dwrite.h), but
that's more important for mingw-w64 and they use our d3dx* headers
(among others).
