[omniORB] DH key size increase to 2048 bit

Hello Duncan

We just ran into the 768 bit DH key requirement by OpenSSL 1.0.1o and higher (see https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20150611.txt).
omniORB 4.2.0 uses a 512 bit key, so clients using newer OpenSSL versions cannot connect to servers anymore.

Then I realized that you have already switched to a 2048 bit DH key on the trunk of omniORB.

So my questions:

Will there be a bugfix release (e.g. 4.2.1) that contains the longer key?
Are there any plans for a major release anytime soon?

Regards, Peter.
