[omniORB] Ancient compiler support

[Duncan Grisby]

Hi,

As you may know, omniORB has support for some very old C++ compilers.
It's pretty painful to develop new features while accommodating this
ancient history, so it would be good to move forward a little.

Does anyone still use omniORB with such an old compiler?  In particular,
omniORB currently supports compilers that:

 - cannot catch exceptions by base class. e.g. you cannot catch a
CORBA::COMM_FAILURE by catching CORBA::SystemException.

 - do not support namespace, meaning that CORBA modules are mapped to
nested classes.


Please let me know if it would be a real problem for you if omniORB
4.2.x dropped support for these things!

Thanks,

Duncan.
