[Orbit-python-list] Last updates

[Roland M. <ma...@ec...>]

Two batches of updates.  ChangeLog excerpt:

   * src/marshal.c, src/demarshal.c: added *experimental* support for
     wstring type, mapped to a Python Unicode object.  Only works with
     Python >= 2.0 (e.g. from Sourceforge CVS).  Very likely *not* to be
     interoperable *at all* with other ORBs.
   * src/server.c: added code to allow the server program to overload
     the _get_* and _set_* operations (with e.g. side effects).
   * src/server.c: fixed a compilation bug for current Python from CVS
     (the soon-to-be Python 2.0).

  The wide string stuff works between an ORBit-Python client and an
ORBit-Python server.  Nothing has been done to make it work between
ORBit-Python and any other ORB or binding.  I had a hard time finding
ORBs that handle wstrings, though...  Only found ILU and TAO (and
ORBit, obviously, though not that much), and I have no clue how to use
them yet.  I'll do it soon, as well as the wchar type.

Roland.
