doing it with php primitives might be possibe but i think we will gain
much better performance from a native c implementation. and perfomance will
count here.

kinda the same here. we are developing a crossmedia system that should do
ecommerce via php, cdrom production and classical print. and we need a
windows tool for the users to insert their product data.
the whole application should reside in the orb and be usable via php on the
webserver and to all the other modules (print, cdrom, input)

yes avoiding orb specific stuff should be a goal.
do you know if there is any reference implementation of iiop in c?
