Well, it doesn't have a conformance test...

The test would require us to have an idl file compiled by widl.  The
attached file is a part of the initial type marshalling tests written
by Rob Shearman.  The idl file can't be compiled by widl until many
more features of widl are implemented.

One option is to compile the idl with midl and add the resulting
output files to git, but I don't know if Alexandre will accept this.

I bet that'd be ok, at least until our idl compiler shapes up.
How big is the output file?  Maybe you could even embed it
inside the .c file if it's not too huge.

There are two or three files that are generated, and until we compile
them ourselves, we should keep them in git, because we need some of
the files to compile the tests.

Oh, right.  Anyway, lzexpand/tests/lzexpand_main.c is an example of
a golden file embedded in a .c file.  And if that was ok, checking
in your couple of files ought to be ok...
