No.  So I dropped STLport from OpenCASCADE (which Salomé depends on; C++
namespaces are a PITA!!), and used omniORB 4.0.x, and it works just
fine.  (Well, I had a lot of other problems to overcome, from HDF5/MPI
to a VTK4->5 port to some very sloppy upstream build practices, but it
does work now, and beautifully.)

I've made a couple of attempts to contact upstream to inquire about
plans for a port to omniORB 4.1, but haven't heard back yet.  It seems
like quite a bit of work from what I can tell, as some of the
assumptions have changed; in any case, far beyond what I have time for.

I was planning to write to pkg-corba-devel either when I heard from
upstream or some time passed, to propose creating new omniorb4.0 and
python-omniorb2.6 packages to use for Salomé and Code_Aster (a finite
element program which links well with it).  I would be happy to maintain
these, upgrade to 4.0.7, etc., and to put them in your alioth repository
as a branch or as separate packages, whatever you think best.

What do you think?
