Guess that's the next question (vs statement)...who actually
supports Corba at this time? two, off the top of my head, are Gnome and
Koffice...anyone know of a list of others?

As for 6-9 months...I think this is more in Michael court then
anything...I don't see why work can't start on it now, even if its nothing
more then Michael submitting patches that have the relevant sections
#ifdef's so that they are only enabled for those working on it. I don't
imagine this is going to be a "now it isn't, now it is" sort of thing...it
might take 6-9 months to implement...
