At least to start with, I don't want to make it part of the omniORB
tree, since it isn't going to be finished for a while. I'm happy for
it to go in the omniORB CVS as a new top-level module. Alternatively,
you might want to create a whole new SourceForge project for it.

That will be good, but remember two things:

 1. Autoconf isn't available everywhere, notably on Windows.
 2. The omniORB build environment is nightmarishly complex. Think
    twice before saddling omniImR with it.

Cheers,

Duncan.
