Console log from first attempt to record a macro without any overrides (results
in failure)

This is a follow-up to bug 11415, which has been fixed for all the 200x
versions of Word, but not entirely for Word 97.

In wine-1.1.35-364-g9dc584d, Word 97 needs native oleaut32 (copied from XP) in
order to record a macro the first time. Once the first macro has been
successfully recorded, however, you can remove the override from winecfg,
delete the native oleaut32.dll from Wine's system32 and restore the fake one,
and Word 97 will continue to be able to record and play macros just fine. (I've
tested this multiple times, with the same results.) 

The typelib errors and fixmes in the attached console log are not present in
subsequent runs after the problem has been fixed by the temporary override.
