[omniORB] netscape/visibroker applet with omninames

[Gary D. Duzan]

   Unless I'm mistaken, Visibroker is nonstandard in this respect.  I
believe their resolve_initial_reference("NameService") returns a
NamingContextFactory (or some such thing, a proprietary extension)
instead of a NamingContext for the root. Also, when working with
Visibroker/C++, I couldn't even do a proper string_to_object() and
_narrow() of an omniNames NamingContext IOR using Visigenic's naming
library. Instead we had to run the Naming.idl through Visigenic's IDL
compiler and use the stubs generated there. After that it worked fine.
