the problem is the  "#define typename"   in swig/hexrays.i
which causes problems in the c++ template declarations.

I am not sure why hexrays.i  would try to redefine a c++ keyword.

interesting code of standalone module for hexrays python from github is using 
such define and compiles well though it is a bit outdated and crashing 6.5. but 
even after removing there are other errors: 'wrong calling convention' on 
windows platform and some hexrays python classes are absent like 'typestring'. 
the only working version is binaries for 6.4 on github.
