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

Bruce,

I'll check the _0RL_buildDesc_cstring to make sure other compilers are not
upset with the change. Sigh!

It is not the intention to remove the testsuite permanently. At the moment
it needs some cleanup. I'll try to make it available later.

Sorry about that, I've attempted to clean up the internal template and most
certainly removed workarounds for gcc 2.7.2. This may have affected DEC C++
5.6 as well. The main change that could affect 5.6 is to put back those
template functions defined in <top>/include/omniORB2/templatedefns.h back
into inline functions in <top>/include/omniORB2/templatedecls.h. 

I appreciate if you spend some time on figuring out what workarounds are
needed for 5.6.
