My target users are c++ programmers who want to use only
stuff that is in widespread use and thoroughly debugged,
and is compact enough to fit on embedded systems where
memory is tight.  The only C++ ORB that has a hope of
meeting those requirements is Orbit, and only if its C++
bindings are in the mainstream Linux distributions.
