Those bindings look pretty good.  It would be nice if you made them a bit
easier to configure though.  After fixing the paths, the
testserver/testclient seemed to work quite well.

It looks like it has lots of potential.  Getting it to use the interface
repository (which I hear is working in the latest versions of ORBit) and
dynamic invocation interface, and we would have a great tool for
writing scripts that use arbitrary CORBA interfaces.

James.
