Yes, that would require a big rewrite. We have done that based on TAO
resulting in TAOX11 which was a huge effort. I justed wanted to mention
the mapping

It is a good place to start. Coverity itself is helpful for finding all
kinds of issues. We are using it for TAO and related projects. Setting
it up is pretty easy.
