Although it will probably work to build omniORBpy 3.5 against omniORB
4.1.4, it is not how it is meant to be used, and nobody has tested it.
You should use omniORB 4.1.5.

You need to build omniORB yourself.

You need to use Cygwin and GNU make. Look at the instructions in
README.win32.txt in the omniORB tree.

Cheers,
