Whomever does this implementation, or works on this, needs to bear in mind
that there are several different ORBs out there, and the code should be
written in such a way that *I* can use MICO, Oleg here can use Fnorb,
someone else can use ORBit, etc...I personally don't want to have to go
ut and grab <INSERT ORB of the Day here> just so that I can use CORBA,
when I already have Mico installed for other software...
