	You don't need to inherit anything public from it. Just some internal
structures eg.

typedef struct {
	CORBA_Object_type base;
	gpointer cpp_impl_pointer;
} ORBitCppInternalStruct;

	eg.

	Hmm; true - then again that can most likely be achieved by either a)
having an accessor method or b) keeping a CORBA_Object pointer that you
use for this purpose on the C++ wrapper, and simply narrowing that
inside the C++ impl. to ORBitCppInternalStruct.

	How does that sound ?
