You beat me to the punch.

There's been a bit of discussion lately on multithreading the
interface, and communications/serialization with the ORB has been one
such issue.

Perhaps it isn't desirable to multithread right off the bat. But it
would certainly be a good idea to not rule threads out at the very
beginning. They could probably be retrofitted later, but especially if
it involved ripping a single-threaded heart out of the thing, that
would be a bit discouraging factor.

This bears a look. (It is released under GPL.)
