omniORB is using the define to either resolve to sockaddr_storage or
sockaddr_in, depending on whether the platform defines sockaddr_storage
or not. Unfortunately, the Windows headers are also using
SOCKADDR_STORAGE in capitals. I've changed omniORB to call it
OMNI_SOCKADDR_STORAGE, so it should be ok now.
