[omniORB] Multithreading

[Ulf Stoermer]

Hi Uli,

you actually don't need the call to orb->run().
OmniORB is multithreaded anyway and starts it's own
threads to manage requests. Even though orb->run()
is used in all the omni examples it basically just
emulates an idle loop.
So all you need to do is init the ORB and activate
the POA (maybe in your InitInstance function) and
then just run the Windows messages loop.

Cheers

Ulf
