Attached a builder for Mozilla's xpcom interface generator file, .idl.

Updated the xpidl.py file to have better support for build_dir and subdir builds.

STATUS:

Needs discussion: YES (change to target-based Builder?) Needs additional work: YES? Needs unit tests: NO Needs end-to-end test(s): YES Needs man page update: YES Needs User's Guide update: ?

Adds an env.XPCOMInterface() Builder that generates .idl files. I think this should be generalized (if appropriate, I'm not an IDL export) to an IDL builder that does the right thing with the input file type.

Hi Mozbugbox; I'm wondering if you have any more info on this, perhaps changing it to a target-based builder that would work in SCons? If so, you could at least post it on the wiki where it would be useful to people even without necessarily being included in SCons.

Bug party triage. Gary to contact OP to see if he can provide tests and doc. (Note that if his email address doesn't work via Tigris, the same username at users.sf.net might get through.)
