Calling a DLL from within IDL requires the DLL export function to use
the IDL portable calling convention for passing arguments, i.e.
RET_TYPE dllexportfunction(int argc, void *argv[]).
This means you need to write a wrapper dll that uses this convention.
CALL_EXTERNAL has some keywords like AUTO_GLUE to help you with that,
but I always end up writing one myself (which is not that difficult).

In your case I'd guess you'll be better of spawning some command.
