I have no experience with either Orbit or Mico, so I will be of  
little help to you there.  You may have to modify the  
Components.idl / CCM.idl to fit in with the shortcomings of the orbit  
idl2 compiler, for example replacing typeprefix directives with the  
equivalent pragma prefix directive.   You should, however, be using  
the component idl from the distribution that you intent to  
interoperate with.
