	So I've looked at the patch and there's a few comments I'd like
to make...

	* We shouldn't be including IDL.h anywhere in ORBit2's sources
	apart from orbit-idl. I've fixed this in CVS.

	* The namespacing of the headers to ${includedir}/orbit-2.0 is
	unneccesary, I think. ORBit-0.5.x headers reside in
	${includedir}/orb and ORBit2's in ${includedir}/orbit.

	* I'm curious about the change to ORBit-CosNaming-2.0.pc
	although I'd certainly defer to your wisdom on that ;)

	* I wonder can we kill the ORBIT2=1 define?

	* Can we try an solve your poa IDL_DIR problem seperately?

	I personally think that the -config scripts should go - but I
also don't know the reason for Elliot's dislike of pkg-config.
