Yes, cute is cute :-)
What makes me wonder about ORBit are the c++ bindings. How advanced and
complete are they? How efficient are they?
And most important: How difficult is it to integrate new marshallers into
ORBit and it's c++ mapping?
With MICO it's wonderful, I have to say that. The SII is really nice,
meaning it's very easy to extend it (assuming that you have access to the
idl compiler at the same time :-)
Ciao,
