[vlc] Re: xpidl.exe crashes during VLC with mozilla build using cygwin

[ken -vlc]

Thanks,
however, chmod that did not fix the problem :(

if i run the command that fails on it's own, 
/cgydrive/c/gecko-sdk/bin/xpidl.exe -I/cygdrive/c/gecko-sdk/idl \
	-I"c:\gecko-sdk/idl" \
	-m header -o vlcintf ./vlcintf.idl

from the vlc-trunk folder - the program exits with
*** WARNING **: Parse of ./vlcintf.idl failed: No such file or directory

cd into the mozilla directory - now xpidl.exe crashes and the "report 
this error to microsoft" comes up.
Details of the xpidl.exe crash:
Error Signature --
AppName xpidl.exe AppVer: 1.7.20050.31907   ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180    Offset: 00018fea
