[omniORB] Forward declarations and includes (IDL)

[Matej Kenda]

We wanted to put all non-implementation files in a library. omniidl
generated files do not compile.

Hi all:

	We have a similar situation with about 50 interfaces, without
inheritance and the include statement before than forward declarations =
and
don't have problems.

	Can you tell us if the compilation problems are with the skeletons
or with the implementation?.
