I believe this to be incorrect.  I'd be happy to fix bugs reported
against the C binding, though the official C mapping itself is in bad
shape.  By the way, I serve on both the Core RTF and the
Interoperability RTF of the OMG, and have served as chair of the C
Language Mapping Working Group of the C/C++ RTF of the OMG, so I do have
some idea of what we're talking about here.

Yes, we have not yet implemented a POA.  I have no direct experience of
ORBit, but in one benchmark ILU was shown to run about as fast as Orbix,
maybe a smidgen faster.
