* Flick supports C
  It is very fast (the only optimizing stub compiler).
  Lacks lots of features.

I am right now writing a replacement event loop for the Flick
micro-CORBA implementation (http://www.cs.utah.edu/projects/flux). 

Those CORBA servers that do not require DII (nor a BOA to find other
services) can just use the Flick code for providing services.
