Elegant and clean. Thank you very much for the insight; this list has
been very helpful in getting me past these little speedbumps in the
best way possible. As I've said to many: my experience moving from
ILU to omniORB has gone much better than I could have expected,
largely because the community has been so supportive.

Thanks again!
