Current stable version of PolyORB is 1.3a. I think AdaCore release 1.3r
(publicy available version) in near future.

This version have many code cleanup and remove many GNAT 3.15p
workarounds. Thus it require GNAT Pro 5 or GCC 3.4.

I think the more right way is provide only stable personalities, for
now
(PolyORB 1.3):

- application: CORBA MOMA
- protocol: GIOP SOAP
- services: Event IR Naming Notification Time

The DSA personality still unstable up to 1.4. More whan, it require
synchronization between it support inside GNAT compiler, GLADE's
gnatdist and PolyORB. :( This is too complex task for provide it
outside
of AdaCore products. :(
