[omniORB] omniORB 3.0.1 is released.

[Mark Borges]

Not sure if this is the preferred/proper fix or not, but I thought I'd
pass it along anyway, at least to server as a datapoint.

Adding in "-fPIC" to CXXFLAGS during the compilation phase of the
modules located in

   omni/src/lib/omniORB2/dynamic

yields a libomniDynamic3.a that, when linked against libCOS3.so.0,
does not give any relocation errors.

Also, in the category of "minor nits", I see this warning,

  ../../../../bin/sun4_sosV_5.6/omkdepend: warning:  (from
  common/pyMarshal.cc) common/pyMarshal.cc : 249: #    error "omniidl
  requires Python 1.5.2 or higher"

even though,

  $ python
  Python 1.5.2 (#1, Nov 11 1999, 11:56:47)  [GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] on sunos5
  Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam

is the only python I have installed on this machine.
