[omniORB] omniORB 3 pre-release 3 is now available

[Gary D. Duzan]

   Seems I was a bit hasty about the AIX build success. Shared
libraries aren't constructed properly. It is an easy fix, though:

Index: dir.mk
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/omni/src/lib/omniORB2/orbcore/sharedlib/dir.mk,v
retrieving revision 1.11.6.8
diff -r1.11.6.8 dir.mk
339c339
< NETLIBOBJS += gatekeeper.o
---
> ORB_OBJS += gatekeeper.o
===================================================================

The real fix is to build a generic export list for gatekeepers and
link that in, but until I have a need for them (or someone talks
me into it, or decides to do it themselves) the dummystub will have
to do.

=>SystemException::NP_RepositoryId to _NP_repoId.
