Well, while you can certainly create multiple ORBs in a single
executable (multi threaded or single), having each one represent a
differing version of ACE+TAO would probably be impossible. Your problem
would be that linking in various differing versions of the TAO library
would work... insofar as the linker is concerned, however, there's no
way to tell the linker to use a particular version of a function with
the same name from both libraries in differing places in the code.
