    The Omniorb IDL compiler has a problem with includes. I have found
it's best to run a pre-processor to expand the IDL file before
presenting it to omniidl2:

	/lib/cpp -C -P -I $(EDASPATH)/h $< -o ./stdf.idl
	omniidl2 -I $(EDASPATH)/h ./stdf.idl

    No, no problem with "module". I have a project which uses loads of
modules/interfaces. All I have to do is run the pre-processor first.
