nmake on proxy/stub results in unresolved externals
Also, it might make more sense to build a single proxy/stub DLL for
all related interfaces (perhaps there are others...). Copy all IDL files
in a single folder, MIDL them there, then write a makefile that includes
all generated _i.c and _p.c (plus dlldata.c) files and build with it.
