Re: mshtml: Renamed nsIDOMHTMLSelectElement::Remove to select_Remove to avoid conflict with nsIDOMElement.

Thanks, Jacek
This patch should fix that problem, but would it hide the problem in widl?

I tried midl.exe with VS, and got
#define nsIDOMHTMLSelectElement_Remove(This,index)    \
    ( (This)->lpVtbl -> Remove(This,index) )

Then why widl can't handle this situation?

I tested midl on a simpler case and it will output two different macros
for that as well as two entries in vtbl. This will cause a conflict
during compilation (in C, it's perfectly fine for C++). widl produces
only one macro (see commit 65f418493683d96d4fd625ab019ea400eec4c19a), so
that the header is at least valid in such case. There is not much more
we can do.
