[omniORB] linker errors building omniORB_280pre1 on NT 4.0

[Sai-Lai Lo]

Hm.. Perhaps the creation of omniORB2.def was interrupted and you have a
zero length file? Try delete omniORB* in the sharedlib directory and try
again.

Here is an explanation of how the dll is created:

1. THe file omniORB2.def is created by a pipeline of dumpbin, sort and grep
   to extract the export symbols in the library.

2. The linker is then invoked with omniORB2.def as the argument.
