Interface Description Files (IDFs)
The purpose of this exercise is to produce correct Interface Description Files (IDFs) for all the externals (libraries and components of .dll, *.ocx, *.tlb, or *.olb extension, for example) referenced by a group of well-formed VB6 projects (.vbp), as listed above for example.

Assumption
It is assumed that all externals referenced by these projects are properly registered (and licensed, for third-party proprietary components) on the machine where these the projects (VBPs) build correctly.
The outputs of this exercise are the IDFs (*.xml files) listed in Step 8.
