[omniORB] omniORB 2.8 on ALPHA/openVMS (fwd)

In fact, I have received e-mail from a user who had problems building on
VMS 6.2 using MMK.  He managed to build successfully, so I have asked
him to e-mail a patch so I can incorporate it.  In the meantime, if you
could let me know specifically what problems you are having I'd be glad
to help.
