[email protected] did a lot of work that appears to have 
not landed. IIRC, the Sun people were working on a branch. They 
did not keep up with the evolution of the trunk xpidl compiler as 
new types were added. If anyone is offering to do new work here 
it would be good to reconcile the differences between the Sun 
branch and the trunk (likely using marcus' patches) first.

This module seems to be suffering from a lack of strong 
ownership. It looks to me like the original owner is no longer 
active.
