[omniORB] OB on NetBSD now builds

[Zed Shaw]

Hi, 
 
I just got the NetBSD port to build with a minimum of changes to the 
source.  In order for it to build, I needed to modify: 
 
* configure.ac and generate a new configure 
* mk/beforeauto.mk.in -- added a new section for NetBSD similar to 
FreeBSD 
* include/omnithread.h -- added a section for __netbsd__  
 
I then needed to use the command: 
 
PTYHON=/usr/pkg/bin/python2.2 ../configure 
 
To run the configure so that it would find the python instance (NetBSD 
insists on not having a default, stupid).  The only other requirement is that 
all the GNU tools must be installed from pkgsrc (gmake, autoconf, etc.) 
and that you need to install pth so you can use the pthread compatibility 
layer it has. 
 
After that, everything seemed to build just fine.  I have not tested it yet 
but I will tonight.  Is there a test suite I can use, or just run the examples? 
 
Now, the big question is, how do you want the changes submitted?  With 
a patch?  What style?  Particular program?  Sent to list?  To you Duncan?  
Thanks. 
 
Also, is it alright if I post instructions on how I did this to the Wiki on the 
omniorb site?  It might help others in the future.
