Why?  Why not make them share a single version of the omniORB library?
What advantage is there in trying to give each DLL its own version of
omniORB?

I don't think so. If you have two Linux shared libraries, both linked
against the omniORB shared libraries, and you dlopen() them, only one
copy of the omniORB library will be loaded.
