   * @class ORB_Table
   *
   * @brief Keep a table with all the ORBs in the system.
   *
   * CORBA::ORB_init() is supposed to return the same ORB if the
   * user specifies the same ORBid, either in the ORB_init()
   * parameter or in the -ORBid option.
   * This class is used to implement that feature.
   * It is also useful when trying to determine if an object
   * reference is collocated or not.
   *
   * @note This class should be instantiated via its instance()
   *       method.  Normally this would be enforced by making the
   *       constructor protected but that forces a friend declaration
   *       containing a template type (TAO_Singleton) with a static
   *       member to be introduced.  In turn, this potentially
   *       introduces problems in MS Windows DLL environments due to
   *       the occurance of multiple singleton instances.  There
   *       should only be one!
