People have mentioned this before. I agree that it would be useful if
it behaved the way you suggest. Unfortunately, omniidl never gets to
see the original #include <mydir/myidl.idl> since it is handled by the
C pre-processor. By the time omniidl sees it, the directive output by
the pre-processor has the full file path. There's no easy way for
omniidl to figure out what it was originally.

Cheers,

Duncan.
