? oh - of course.
it hadn't occurred to me to simply change the rule globally :)

ack.

these non-windows people, i dunno...]
okay, so just to check: in the _wine_ source code, at present,
the only usage of widl is to turn .idl into .h - is that right?
i'm trying to get a handle on where i can help, given that dceidl can
generate both client and server-side stubs given a lovely .idl file.
AH - i know - one important question: do you _happen_ to know where i
can obtain that "OSF-DCE <-> MSRPC" header file which contains stacks
of #defines like:
#define rpc_mem_free RpcMemFree
#define rpc_binding_handle_inq RpcBindingHandleInq
i certainly can't afford to do an automated conversion of all the
function names and structs to the lovely microsoft convention because
it would be a complete merging nightmare for three very similar but
subtly worked on codebases.
