First of all, I need custom and context handles. I planed to implement 
them in WIDL in a few weeks, but since my clean and working typedef 
implementation was rejected by wine for unknown reason, all my further 
widl work became impossible. Now,  I think I will start my own project 
based on widl and implement everything I want. I enjoy hacking widl code 
and I don't want to stop, only because Rob Shearman doesn't like my patches.

Hm, yes, I forget about it. If so, I will try to implement context 
handles in rpcrt4 too. Don't want to wait for years till someone else 
does it :)
