[omniORB] AIX

[Gary D. Duzan]

   I don't think AIX 4.3 really supports nanosleep() properly.
Most articles I've read on the topic suggest using the "select on
empty fdsets with timeout" trick for AIX. usleep() should work,
but you may need to link in libbsd_r to get it. I don't think you
should need any patches, but we're still on AIX 4.2.1 in our group.
I expect we'll upgrade in the coming months, so I'll have more to
say on the matter then.
