[omniORB] omniORB's future (and mine too)

[Stefan Seefeld]

Hi Duncan,

here are some first suggestions that require only little work,
but may have quite an impact on the usability. I'd be willing
to help...

I'd suggest splitting omniidl into a generic IDL parser (a simple
python module) and the executable / backends. This would make it
even more appealing for others to use it, I think.

Second, I'd like to add a 'make doc' target to the build system
to use the synopsis tool to generate a reference manual for the
entire code base of omniORB (IDL, C++, python). Unfortunately,
I haven't been able to figure out how the build system works, with
all the include and macro / canned command sequence machinery.

Thanks for your commitment and ongoing support !

Stefan
