ORBit works.  We have total control over its implementation (unlike MICO and
ILU).  It's lean (MICO wasn't).  No compelling reason to change.  Not to
mention that if we did switch to ILU, we'd have to throw out all the intensive
work that's gone into ORBit.  Makes no sense to re-evaluate again at this
point.
