Great! I am just wondering because I have read on another ORB-related
mail list that cygwin is not thread-enabled or thread-safe or something
alike and that mingw32 should be used instead. Is this information
outdated? Also, would you think it possible (and how easy) to use
mingw32 for omniORB?

I think that quotes should not be put into the command-line argument at
all. At least, all the examples I have seen (not omniORB only) do not.
