The reason I went with this is because I found examples of exactly this 
usage in the existing HOL source.  See poa.h:441 and poa.h:646.  
Perhaps I was looking at a chunk of the code that you don't like.

I also agree that defining nil is a bit wonky on Apple's/Next's part.  
And yes, it's easy enough to #undef nil before including the omniORB 
headers.  I just thought a change along these lines might make some 
future user's life a bit simpler.
