As you say, the COS IDLs already make use of this feature. Just put

  #pragma hh #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
  #pragma hh #include <config.h>
  #pragma hh #endif

At the start of your IDL files. Any lines starting #pragma hh will be
copied into the .hh file. Note that this only works at the start of
the IDL file -- pragmas elsewhere will be ignored.

Cheers,

Duncan.
