In omniORB 3, you have to mangle argc/argv. omniORB 4 supports an
extension to ORB_init() where you can pass in an extra set of
parameters. See the Wiki page for details:

That interface isn't exposed to Python yet, but it's much easier to
cook up a new argv list in Python than it is in C++, so it's not a big
deal.

Cheers,

Duncan.
