ORBit 2 is targeted at CORBA 2.4 instead of CORBA 2.6,
where the way to declare a array is :

(83) <array_declarator> ::= <identifier> <fixed_array_size>+ 
(84) <fixed_array_size> ::=  [  <positive_int_const>  ]

um..and also the C Language Mapping is not updated to reflect the new
mapping of array for CORBA 2.6...
