[fnorb] Fnorb implementation of POA : when expected ?

I can't speak on plans to build a POA into Fnorb, but the above
statement is certainly not true. Or, perhaps, I misread the statement:
you don't need to write a new implementation class; you can certainly
instantiate the same implementation class as many times as you want.

I belive with Fnorb, you can also use the same implementation object
(servant, in POA speak) for many CORBA object references, by
activating it multiple times.

With the POA, you'd get that, and a number of additional features
(like servant creation on-the-fly, e.g. only when a request comes in).

Indeed, += is an improvement. Please note that ++ was not added...
