This support is not part of CIAO at this moment, it has been removed as 
part of the heavy refactoring/improvements when we implemented DDS4CCM 
as part of a large project.

The problem was that this support was tied into all kind of pieces it 
shouldn't have touched. The correct solution would be to implement this 
in CORBA connectors. That is also the approach UCM will likely take and 
which also has been taken for F6. I don't know when this will be added 
to CIAO, that is dependent on funding for such an effort.

Best regards,

Johnny
