I am against committing MIDL generated files to SVN for the following 
reasons:

1) The use of MIDL might defer improvements to WIDL.

2) We always need to clean-up the MIDL generated files.

3) Some features missing from WIDL require additional support from 
rpcrt4.dll. Context handles for example require some not-yet-implemented 
rpcrt4 functions. Just using MIDL instead of WIDL won't fix this issue.


PS: Saveliy, which WIDL features do you need?
