So, it seems, he is almost done in oovbaapi :-)
But there are more interfaces like services.
And I have often seen (unused ?) constants in there.
In files without license part like oovbaapi/ooo/vba/access/AcCloseSave.idl

Well, I guess it's better to suppose they are mostly used and let it be :-)
It's not that long to build udkapi, offapi and oovbaapi.
And this whole UNO .idl thing is quite mysterious to me.
