Sorry, I forgot to reply to this. I checked in most of your changes a
while ago. The only thing I haven't done in the omni4_0_develop branch
is to add the peeridentity() virtual function to giopConnection. To do
that would break binary compatibility in the omniORB library. I have
added the function in the omni4_1_develop branch.

Cheers,

Duncan.
