FYI, the submitted library contains the waveidl sample, which shows how to
use the preprocessor library in conjunction with a custom lexer and for this
reason contains an IDL lexer which may be used as a starting point for you.
Additionally, the pair of iterators exposed by the wave::context<> object
are directly usable as the input iterators for Spirit.
