OK, great.

Regarding 1.5.2 compatibility, the RPM spec in contrib/RPMS still
specify a Python 2.0 requirement. Could that be modified to 1.5.2 too? 
That would enable a mere 'rpmbuild -ta omniORB-4.0.x.tar.gz' command to
build RPMS and SRPMS. 
While I'm at it: could you update the RPM spec to 4.0.2-2 or give
permission to Thomas or Stefan to commit it to CVS. If I recall
correctly, on RH9 4.0.2-1 fails to build due to rpm being pedantic about
non packaged files.

Thanks!
