We have to wait for this bugfix:

TAO IDLs went to /usr/share/idl/tao, orbsvcs ones to
/usr/share/idl/orbsvcs.

I suppose that modification of ACE_DYNAMIC_SERVICE_DIRECTIVE will not
solve svc.conf problem (maybe I am wrong).

get_dll_names at DLL_Handle generates various names for a library to be
loaded  (using  prefixes, postfixes and decorators). Changes related
with this method will serve well both in ACE and TAO for all use cases
related with shared libraries. But this is rather a serious
modification. Additionally, I consider such behaviour of get_dll_names
( DYNAMIC_SERVICE_DIRECTIVE too) as possible security hole , because
one may easily injected an infected dll into another process. Need
some time to rethink the idea :)
