* README.sun: Added an explicit reminder at the top that the
information in this file is historical in nature and does not necessarily apply to current reality. * README: Updated the season from "summer" to "Fall" ;-) Also added a note that warned people not to try to link TAO with a version of ACE that's linked with another ORB library, e.g., liborbix.so. Thanks to Steven Wohlever <wohlever@mitre.org> for bringing this instructional omission to our attention. * tao/tao_internals.cpp (fake_service_entries_i): Made the body of this function conditional on the TAO_PLATFORM_SVC_CONF_FILE_NOTSUP preprocessor definition since it doesn't need to exist in platforms that grok the Service Configurator. This will also reduce the memory footprint :-). Thanks to David Miron <dxm@crapper.dsto.defence.gov.au> for pointing this out! * tao/orb_core.cpp (TAO_ORB_Core): Removed explicit CTOR initialization of reactor_ member.
