OK, I thought I'd CC this to Alexander so he realises this, I must admit
I had just assumed widl was a winelib app like all the others.

To be honest, as we might one day have to implement ICreateTypeLib
anyway (and i think Alexander mentioned he wanted these for his own
project anyway), it seems like a lot of extra work to do this once in
widl and again in oleaut32. Is being able take generated files out of
CVS really that big a gain? We already ship quite a few (wineserver,
build system, idl->h) and it doesn't really cause problems.
