[omniORB] Port of omniORB_280pre1 to Compaq C++ 6.2 OpenVMS Alpha 7.1

[Doug Anderson]

Hi All,
I got the same warnings with Compaq (DEC) cxx 6.1-029 on Tru 64 (Digital) Unix
4.0e.  FYI, so it's not just the 6.2 compiler, but the 6.1 version as well.  Thanks for
reporting this before me!  :)  BTW,we used to run omniORB with cxx5.6 about a year
ago, so some of this work may have been done, though you'll need to translate it to
OpenVMS.  You may have to change the cxx version settings within the platforms file
for your configuration.
Doug
