  ^^^^^^^^^^

Not really in a position to object, since I don't work on this stuff
anymore, but actually it covered the vast majority of the CORBA
standard, including stuff like "Fixed" that the C bindings for
ORBit1 didn't handle.

About the only thing I remember it not handling was in-process 
calls, which wasn't really possible with ORBit1, though I here
ORBit2 is better.

So old, old, yes. And for ORBit1, yes. But for the CORBA standard
and ORBit of it's time, pretty complete. Both have moved on.
