Converting a stand-alone Delphi-made .tlb file to .ridl

Question

How does one convert a stand-alone .tlb file created in a pre-2009 version of Delphi to a .ridl file using Delphi 2010? .tlb files that are part of projects get automatically converted, but this particular file is not part of any project.
