It is completely unusable and will remain so for long time. I got no time
doing it.

That was another misconception of me. Do not run an external event service.
Link it as a library and use it there. Of course that won't work for an MICO
event server in ORBit programs. So you have to write a event server factoty in
MICO and let it output the IOR of a server.

No, actually not.
