Someone might want to try implementing, as an experiment and demo, a
Corba packaging of Postgres using libpq on the _server side_. That way,
we can demonstrate functionality, interfacing, and performance without
ripping into the backend directly until we understand some of the
issues.

So:

  app (applix?)--corba stub--(otw i/f)--corba server-- \
    --wrapper code--libpq--(postgres socket i/f)--backend

We might want some real wrapper code to make it a real object-oriented
API to fit best with Corba.
