[omniORB] Autoconf macros that automatically detect omniORB.

[Rob Riggs]

Note that there is a set of CORBA autoconf scripts already in the 
works.   Info on CORBACONF can be found at http://www.corbaconf.kiev.ua/ 
and http://corbadev.kiev.ua/mailman/listinfo/corbaconf

You may want to work with Ruslan Shevchenko to fold any features from 
your scripts into his.  He did claim that a new release is in the works 
(I was expecting a release in October, but have not seen an announcement 
on the corbaconf list yet.   The new release was supposed to provide a 
GPL-compatible license and enhance OmniORB-4 support.
