Under VC6, we use the feature that when you add directories in
Tools->Options->Directories->Include files, they are added to the INCLUDE
environment variable when a tool (here 'omniidl' in 'Custom build') is
started.

As a workaround, I use a command file that launch omniidl with the -I
options
hardcoded.
