We have just never needed to have an Interface Repository. There is no
technical reason why we can't have one.

You can use any other compliant IfR with omniORB. Just put its IOR in
omniORB.cfg, with the key INTERFACE_REPOSITORY.

If you want to write an interface repository for omniORB, we'll be
happy to put it in with the other contributed software we have.

Cheers,

Duncan.
