omniidl has been used as IDL parser by synopsis. I worked with omniORB for
quite some time, so didn't realize the extra burden of having to install it.
As I said, the omniidl IDL parser code could probably be imported into our
own repository without much problems.
Actually synopsis doesn't really require omniidl, unless you want to use
it with IDL. It is used during tutorial compilation since all parsers
are queried for their parameters (synopsis introspecting its own UI here).

You can certainly comment out the relevant lines in the Makefile. The
tutorial will still build as it uses an xinclude fallback if there is
no file for the IDL compiler to include into the tutorial.
