I've just looked at the code in my tree and most of my work on widl is a 
mess ATM, but there are a few simple patches ready to send. It's 
possible to compile shdocvw typelib, although it's quite not correct. 
The main problem is that widl creates too many typeinfos for typedefs of 
structures and unions. That's because there should be only one typeinfo, 
not one for struct or union and one for typedef. There are also many 
other issues. It's easy to find them writing tests and comparing result 
of midl and widl. Anyways currently comiled typelib is enough for 
WebBrowser implementation so I'll send patches that will add it.
