Wait for the next version of the idl compiler. I think you might have better
luck with that. After I release that I'll take a look at svcctl too. I have
no eta on the compiler. I know how I want the stubs to look but I'm not
certain how I'm going to emit the code in a generic way. It will take a few
days.
