Can't you copy-and-paste already-written definitions from your header
files into your IDL file? Also, you can use #include in the IDL file in
the usual way. If you have a header with these enums and nothing else,
you should be able to just include it.

necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
