Great. I thought it would be easy.

It's actually better to do it with 

  ../configure PYTHON=/usr/pkg/bin/python2.2

That way, the configuration remembers the config.

Obviously you should try the examples. If you want to test it more
fully, you can get the whole omniORB testsuite, plus several others,
from cost.omg.org. The omniORB suite (in the ATT directory) should
work easily. Most of the ORBacus test suite should work too.

Please send a unified diff or, failing that, a context diff. Send it
just to me, and I'll check it in.

Yes, of course. That's the whole idea of the Wiki. I've created a
PortingNotes section you can extend.

Cheers,

Duncan.
