Hi Steve,

some parts of the patch are clearly copypasted from the MS idl, which
is a deal breaker. While rewriting those parts try to use the wined3d
style, like putting the '*' next to the variable instead of the type.

Another potential issue (noticed by Henri) is that
D3D11_VIDEO_PROCESSOR_COLOR_SPACE uses bitfields which aren't
generally portable. I don't know if their implementation on Windows is
compatible with the one used by the OSs and architectures we support.
If that's not the case then we have a problem...

OK, new patch coming soon.

There are bitfields in dwrite.idl and dwrite_1.idl. For example in
DWRITE_SHAPING_GLYPH_PROPERTIES.

Thanks for the help.
