We may have to keep the macros anyway, there are headers that use them that can't be generated from IDL, like the DirectX headers. I suppose they could be converted to using the MS-style objbase.h macros by perl scripts or by rewriting them from api headers or something, but someone else would have to take on that task, I think. But I'll try to add a widl header generation mode that don't use macros, then.
