That works now, though there is still something not quite right:

--- include/d3d10.h.old	2008-04-29 13:38:38.000000000 +0200

+        ID3D10Buffer **const ppConstantBuffers) = 0;

It should be "ID3D10Buffer * const *" instead.

That is due to the tree of types being constructed in the wrong order. 
I'll send a fixed patch in due course.
