One minor point I see in the distribution: there is effectively some
"code", but it is all C code generted by ORB-it. This means one will
need to install GNOME or at least ORB-it to be able to use it.

Wouldn't it be better (or feasible) to distribute the IDL file and
generate the hooks on the fly from the makefile using whichever
ORB the user has available?
