[omniORB] Porting omniORB to MacOS or LinuxPPC

[Erik Schjott]

Peter,

We added a routine to poll appropriate sockets for traffic to be called =
by single threaded applications every now and then. I don't think there =
are any serious limitations, except that you have to add code for =
polling to your client application.

If you're interested I can send the source files that differs from the =
omniORB 2.7.1.

Erik.
