Well then Johan would just steal the code from Mozilla, like he did here
with oaf. :)

Ha! :)

Actually as long as the third argument is optional (and it is), then
it's fine.  We "bend" the spec all over the place in order to provide
enhancements.  As long as spec-compliant programs work the way they
should with o-p then it's fine.

I'll accept it when we don't need to call CORBA_ORB_run() anymore,
because otherwise I fail to see what this is going to buy us.  What
enhancement is this patch really giving us?

This stuff isn't suitable for 0.3.x, but maybe 0.4.x, since it's the
first step to making o-p usable with threads.
