+    Copies the source XIDL file to the output, except that all <desc>
+    tags are stripped in the process. This is to generate a copy
+    of VirtualBox.xidl which is then used as a source for generating
+    the COM/XPCOM headers, the webservice files, the Qt bindings and
+    others. The idea is that updating the documentation tags in the
+    original XIDL should not cause a full recompile of nearly all of
+    VirtualBox.
