[xmlblaster] c++ client library on several platforms

[Michele Laghi <laghi at swissinfo.org>]

Hi everybody,
polishing, cleaning and fixing was done on the client c++ library and 
the following combinations have now been successfully compiled and 
tested (c++ testsuite):

 -------------------------------------------------
 |      OS          |  Compiler    |  Corba      |
 ------------------- -------------- --------------
 | Linux (SuSE 8.1) | gcc 3.2      | Mico 2.3.7  |
 | Linux (SuSE 8.1) | gcc 3.2      | TAO 1.3     |
 | Linux (SuSE 7.2) | gcc 2.95.2   | Mico 2.3.7  |
 | Windows XP       | VC 7         | Mico 2.3.7  |
 | Windows XP       | VC7          | TAO 1.3     |
 -------------------------------------------------

Additionally you need Xerces-c version 2.2.0 (with older versions it 
will not compile anymore)

Compilation with VC 6 will fail.

The source code is already prepared for other corba implementors such as

ORBACUS
ORBIX
OMNIORB

but the current status of the library has not been tested against these 
orbs.

Please let us know if you successfully compiled and ran the testsuite 
with other combinations.
Particularly interesting it would be the INTEL compiler on Linux and 
Windows and Solaris with the GCC or the Workshop Compiler.
