See cpp_quote(). Unfortunately, you'll have to replicate the entire
interface, not just the GUID in order to make it work:

cpp_quote("#ifdef blah")
// dev interface here
cpp_quote("#else")
// prod interface here
cpp_quote(#endif")

Note I haven't actually tried this with interfaces so it might not
work... Works alright with structs though.

I'm working on a tool that I also need to use while I'm working on it,
so I'd like to produce both a working version and a stable version
from the same code base.

Is there a way to conditionally compile different CLSID/IIDs in an IDL
file, so that I can register the working/stable versions separately
and they can coexist? (Yes, I know in an ideal world I shouldn't be
changing the interfaces and therefore I should be able to share the
same IID, but this is my own private development environment so I can
do what I want :p )
