(Microsoft invented yet another file format, this is when they where writing the book about OLE files. nu well ...)
I guess it should not be very hard to implement the ICreateTypeLib/2 (I hope).
Than WIDL can use that Interface to (right?)
typelib.c is assigned to Rein KLazes (by copy-right). Did you experiment with also writing the TLB? do you have any code/documentation/URLs/pointers laying around that I should see before I start? (That is if you are not doing it?)
In the code you are checking for TLB signatures and for a PE. should that be checking for ELF and than load from resource Just as with PE? Is there a standard wine way to check for Executables PE or not?
Mean while I can use a pre-made .TLB and stick it in the RC file. Grate ! here comes ELF ActiveX controls.
About stdole32.tlb There must be a standard simple way to Translate it into HEX format (hence text mode for CVS) and than regenerate from HEX the actual file for installation. Should I submit an HEX file? Some one will have to change the Makefiles.
by the way a new bee question: what are the commands in Linux to make a binary file HEX and back.

Yes, we have the IDL (mostly) but Alexandre won't accept binaries into CVS, we need to be able to translate the IDL into the TLB files ourselves as part of the build process.
