+      ACE has been ported to OpenBSD with and without pthreads

+      Compiling TAO may require the user data segment size
+      restrictions and possibly other options to be increased.  This
+      is done by modifying the default user class in /etc/login.conf
+      or by adding a new class and modifying the master passwer file
