Summary:                    Add support for preprocessor definitions for
Microsoft IDL (MIDL) compiler
Description: 
There is currently no way (that I can see) of specifying preprocessor
definitions to the MIDL. Looking at the Visual Studio 10 generator source code,
it never even attempts to write out a "<PreprocessorDefinitions>" tag.

I would have a go at implementing it myself and submitting a patch, but I'm not
sure the best way to go about it. Should you do it via
"target_compile_definitions" using an "IDL" language tag, then use
clOptions.OutputPreprocessorDefinitions(..., "IDL")?
