I also believe that we should have stubs generated for other classes:
either from the IDL file or from the ORBit Typelibraries.  This is very
much in the spirit of the SoapSuds program that ships with .NET

(btw, we need a SoapSuds implementation).

So you would so something like:

	corba-make-stubs --typelib Bonobo_module.so

Yes.

Now, what you *win* with .NET is that you can author a class, and you
could generate the IDL or the ORBit type libraries from it directly:

mcs proggie.cs
make-corba-typelib --class MyClass proggie.exe

Or something along those lines.
