That's my turn to not follow you. What is your requirement list ?
All what I want to say is the problem is not to replace the full name by  
the typdef name, that's already done and it already work when everything  
is defined in a single file, the problem is to know that the typedef exist.

The new version I sent with my last mail is doing exactly that: it use the  
idx files to rename the wrapped types.
