DEC cxx version 5.6 chokes on this as well.  I made it an empty class.  I guess another approach (for platforms without namespaces) would be to forward declare _CORBA_ImplementationDef or something and use a typedef (so that it could be completed if that is the intent).

I have managed to get a clean build on OpenVMS Alpha with the DEC cxx 5.6 compiler, but the VAX compiler runs out of virtual memory (with page file quota set to 300Mb).  Sigh!
