[omniORB] Kerborized OmniOrb

[Sai-Lai Lo]

It is possible but has not been done. A good project for someone to pick up!

Essentially, omniORB 4 provides you with the means to insert and extract
service contexts that are passed on the wire per request. The service
context is the perfect place to carry Kerberos tickets. What you also need
is per-thread storage to store the identity of the client. This is provided
by the latest omnithread library that accommodates omniORB 4. It is possible
to wrap the per-thread storage into the "slots" of the portable interceptor
spec. This is also not done at the moment.
