Please read the whole thread before you start jumping around with a wide
grin on your face, just like pacman. Otherwise you might make a fool of
yourself. ;-)

Our IDL 'compiler' is only an incomplete scanner/parser combination without
a code generator. It is very far form being usable. The best IDL compiler I
have seen is widl from the ReWind project (X11 Wine fork).

Although the ReWind IDL compiler is the best I have seen yet, I don't feel
comfortable with contributing to ReWind.
