[omniORB] IDL modules

[David Riddoch]

Peter,


The option -m allows modules to be re-opened.

This is enabled by default only for platforms on which modules name to c++
namespaces.  On other platforms modules map to c++ classes -- and so you
will probably get errors when you compile the stubs.


Hope that helps,
David
