[omniORB] Fixed structs are returned by value, variable structs by pointer?

The CORBA C++ specification states that fixed length structures will be
returned by value, but that variable length structures will be returned as a
pointer. That's just the way it is. If you want, you can probably code
client and server using _var types in such a way that you don't need to
worry about the difference.
