Summary: Solidworks API pass-by-reference

Initial Comment:
When you run makepy on the SolidWorks api, it gets confused on any of the methods that use pass-by reference.  In particular, to anyone trying to do automation using OpenDoc6 runs into the problem of the errors and warnings arguments which are pass-by reference being considered non-optional, even though they are return values.

A fairly in-depth discussion and possible workarounds can be found at: http://ephemeralvalue.com/?p=16
and http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-December/175880.html

Is there a way to make makepy not get confused on these methods, or is this just a function of the SolidWorks API?
