[fpc-pascal] Windows type library files

In order to generate type library files from Windows (or wine) headers, I built widl 
<https://www.winehq.org/docs/widl> from wine sources (on Mac OS X). Well, widl generates any kind 
of file, except .tbl. There is no error message and no output.

Does someone know if .tbl files for Windows can be downloaded somewhere. I don't feel like 
downloading 600 MB (with a slow internet connection) and trying out the Microsoft MIDL compiler 
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms693359(v=vs.85).aspx> to find out that 
it doesn't work too.

Has someone imported .tbl files with success using ws_helper, in order to auto-create Pascal units 
? I did manage to build that tool from source <http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Web_Service_Toolkit>.
