Elliot, Dick, ... ?
 
I've seen that the wstring and wchar constants don't work so 
far (they don't get the L prefix for "" or '' literals), but that is 
something I'm currently working on. For the internals of the 
ORB I simply don't know because I'm also quite new to the project ;-)

But one good test for the wstring/wchar stuff could be to use another 
ORB, which has a working implementation for wide strings to check
your work against it 
(e.g. http://www.mico.org, http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/~brose/jacorb/).
