Oh I see now... struct tagMSG is defined in an imported idl file so it
won't be written out while processing ocidl, and thus t->written remains
FALSE even though it's properly defined. The best way to solve this
would still be to ensure that t->written is TRUE, by changing the
parser.y line

if (!parse_only) write_typedef($$, $4);

into something that will still set the "written" field of the type (and
its embedded structures) even if parse_only is true (and similarly with
the enumdefs, structdefs, uniondefs, and interfacedefs, probably). A new
parameter to write_type/write_typedef which inhibits writing anything to
the header but still sets "written", for example... would that work?
