Complete. Implementation TBD. Any volunteer?

I've started implementing changes to have libraries in the form
libWhatever-x.y.z.so. Patches to ACE build mechanism will rely on a new
value for versioned_so; they will be sent for review in a week or so.

Managed by Marek.

Complete; nothing to do.

Owned by Marek.

Complete. Compilation shows -DACE_HAS_IPV6, may be a dup of what is in 
config.h?

> 6 Add a new ace-gperf package for ace_gperf binary [...]

TBD.

> 7 Check we're not missing any header or idl (or pidl) [...]

TBD.

> 8 Test migration from existing 5.6.3 packages.

TBD after 7. I guess.

Postponing.

> 10 For later: CIAO.

Likewise.
