	It will do the sensible thing. eg. if a method returns a CORBA_string,
the skel has to return a newly allocated CORBA_string which will thenn
be freed by the ORB when it has been marshaled.

	A good way to think of it is that - in the in-process case it's
possible to return directly from the skel to the stub without any magic
allocation stuff happening.
