[omniORB] proxyObjectFactory again

[Sai-Lai Lo]

Renzo,

As you can see in the implementation, once initialised there is no provision
for removing a proxyObjectFactory. Allowing these objects to be load and
unloaded dynamically is a can of worms that I'm not sure I want to tackle.

I'm not sure what the semantics of removing a proxyObjectFactory should be
when proxy objects created by the proxyObjectFactory still exists. Clearly,
it is plain wrong to allow the application to unload a DLL containing the
proxy code when there are objects on the heap that relies on the DLL to
provide its implementation.

If you do have a need, may I suggest you look into the issue and devise a
solution.
