 ? oh - of course.

 it hadn't occurred to me to simply change the rule globally :)

 ack.

 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.
