[omniORB] omniORB with other ORB's

It is interoperable with Visibroker for Java 4.x if you stick to those
parts of IDL that omniORB currently implements.

But there are a couple of snags I'm aware of:

  *  Visibroker 4.0's Interface Repository is not interoperable with
     omniORB out of the box because VBJ 4.0 uses the bogus CORBA 2.3.0
     IFR interfaces.

  *  Visibroker 4.0's marshalling wide-strings is not CORBA compliant.
     And Visibroker 4.x by default is VB 4.0 compatible rather than 
     CORBA compatible in its wide-string handling.  You have to set
     a Visi property to false to false to get standards compliance ...
     and interoperability with omniORB 4's wide-string implementation.
