Of course, one must bare in mind that the purpose of CORBA is
not "Hello world" applications. CORBA apps are fully object-
oriented things, and as such carry a lot of code with them. You can
strip off some of the apis that you won't be using but you carry the
risk of stripping off some functionality.
