Wait...when we talked about this months back, I swore that one of the
conclusions *was* that this was possible...it would involve us doing
wrapper functions in our code that were defined in an include file based
on which ORB implementation was used...?
Basically...
pg_<corba function> maps to <insert mico corba function here> or <insert orbit corba function here>
or<insert other implementation function here>
Has this ability changed? *raised eyebrow*
