How do we do that but still keep them as distinct types in C?

I'm not saying they belong in PIDL, but I've only found the way to make
IDL types (that are not C types, things like DWORD) an alias, but not
the other way around.

BTW, as you would have seen from my other patch (sorting
replPropertyMetaData correctly), this area has gone from an interesting
research project to being on the critical path to fixing upgrades from
4.1 to 4.2, so any assistance you can give would be most helpful.
