[omniORB] omniORBpy: destroy() call hangs after a fork

I create a explicit spawner process before initializing the orb. Then if I 
want to have a forked process running it's own orb, I tell the spawner to 
fork. In that process, I can initialize an orb.

For the communication between these processes, I use Pyro. A nice sideeffect 
is that I can kill spawned processes reliably - contrary to threads.
