What is the point of using "-fno-exceptions -fexceptions" on the g++ command
line?  MICO 2.2.3 appears to do this because of badly written configure scripts
and my guess is that someone just copied the MICO settings into
corba/configure.in without thinking about them.  Is this correct?  If so should
I change it to "-fexceptions" or just remove it altogether (I believe that the
default is to enable exceptions)?
Also what is the point of having a "-O0" on the end of the flags?  Is this a
bug or is it a work-around for some strange bug in GCC whereby code can't be
compiled correctly when optimized?
