ACK. Same for me.

  Yep. Basically, the IBM xlC5 compiler has a bug regarding scoping and 
does not compile the file include/omniORB4/cdrStream.h  ... for xlC to 
swallow it, the whole structure has to be changed. I guess we don't 
want to do this because of one buggy compiler. A couple of #ifdefs 
could probably cure it. Maybe there's time for it in the new year ...
