Hi Roy,
The way it's done for shared IDL files, like include/wine/irot.idl is to
create a dummy IDL file in the directory you want to create the
generated files in (see dlls/ole32/irot.idl) that simply includes the
shared IDL file.
Also, you might want to use your full name when submitting patches.
