Things like NdrSimpleTypeMarshall that are declared as stubs in
rpcrt4.spec; the new import library mechanism doesn't allow importing
stubs. Anyway that's easy to work around.

Well, we can live with a few warnings, but hundreds is a bit too much
IMO. But if you don't plan to update that file too often I can hack it
to fix the warnings.

Sure, there's no hurry. I'm happy to commit the MIDL-generated stuff
in the meantime, as long as the better solution is somewhere in sight.
