There is no such feature in omniORB 2.8. Do you _really_ have to use
omniORB 2.8?  You could keep whatever existing code you have using
2.8, and create the new port with 3.0. They will happily coexist.

If you really have to stick with 2.8, the above post looks like the
best bet. But using your own hacked version of omniORB isn't all that
different from just using the current up-to-date version.
