Yes, we missed to report this change in the release notes, though the
documentation for the tool (idl_to_picml) gives the correct usage.

The need for appending the standard include directories has been removed.
This capability will be part of the next release.

I believe Ming has fixed this.

Yes, this is part of the enhancements to idl_to_picml which makes it easy
to deploy a simple application.

You can model the real-time policies using PICML, and generate the
CIAOServerResources descriptors.  But the logic to hookup the policies with
component instances is not yet implemented.  It will probably be added in
the next release.
