  USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN TAO-1.5.4 and TAO-1.5.5
  ====================================================

  [...]

  . Removed support for -Ge 0 and -Ge 1 from the IDL compiler. In practice
    this means that the IDL compiler doesn't generate any environment macros
    anymore.

You are absolutely right: the man page was not updated. I'll submit a
patch to upstream.

Regards,

Thomas
