[cp-patches] FYI: The small intermediate page form CORBA interoperability.

[Meskauskas Audrius]

Andrew Watson , Vice President and Technical Director of the Object 
Management Group, has officially assigned us 20 bit Vendor Minor Code 
Id: 0x47430 ("GC"). We must use this Id to mark remote Classpath - 
specific system exceptions that other applications may receive from our 
CORBA implementation, while working together. The Id provides namespace 
for 4096 possible exceptions. Until now, we used the code 0x00000 
("experimental - anybody can use without registration").

The Vice President also requested from us a web page URL where we should 
describe that our exception codes mean and, if we want, provide other 
information, how to interoperate with our ORB. I suggested to create in 
Classpath Wiki, as the page may need rather frequent alterations and 
clearly depends to mediation category.

However it may not be good to link to Wiki from the external official 
document. Instead, Thomas suggested a good idea to create an 
intermediate "hard" page from where the Wiki page can be linked.
