The -lLANG or --language=LANG instructs ORBit to dlopen a shared
library called liborbit-idl-LANG-backend.so. This lib provides entry
points that implement the basic liborbit interface routines.

The backend lib needs to be located in either the standard orbit
backend libs location or it can be defined with --backenddir=<path>
in ORBit-0.57 (or maybe earlier) onwards.

I haven't seen documentation on the interface that is implemented by
the backend lib. Never paid attention to that end of things. : (
I assume this info is contained somewhere in the doc for ORBit.

The ORBit mailing list is probably a good place to ask about the
interface definition.
