	I'm really convinced - given the trouble that people are constantly
having here - that one person sitting down and writing a simple
pre-processor would save other people tens of hours and fix this problem
permanantly :-) Would you consider that ? my feeling is that this is a
far easier task to achieve.

	This is because we do a transform on the IDL to start with -
s/Object/OObject/ so that we can have the PIDL in the OMG normal form,
and yet parse 'Object' as an identifier instead of an 'object' token -
hence the error.

	Laca ! what is the simple fix Hamish needs for Solaris building?

	Thanks,
