[omniORB] Conflicting omniORBpy and PyORBit

For Linux RPM packaging, I'm inclined to break off omniORB's top-level 
CORBA.py into a separate RPM to make this conflict manageable. Not sure 
what to call the package; we currently have

   omniORBpy
   omniORBpy-devel
   omniORBpy-doc

How about "-boot" or "-toplevel" or "-default" or ?? Perhaps the 
"omniORB.pth" which is installed by the RPMs at the top level should be 
in this same category, since it exposes omniORB/COS IDL stubs at the top 
level, leading to possible conflicts with another ORB. Suggestions and 
comments?

Duncan suggested having omniORB/CORBA.py register itself as "CORBA" so 
that only the first reference needs to have the "from omniORB". That 
sounds interesting; should we move forward on that also? We *could* also 
modify sys.path to expose omniORB/COS *only* if omniORB/CORBA.py is 
loaded (eliminating omniORB.pth altogether). Comments?
