[jacorb-developer] JacORB 3.4 documentation - 25.1 IDL - intrinsic preprocessor symbol does not seem to work as described

I updated to build the JacORB 3.4 orb.idl and hit some IDL compilation 
errors.  So I read the documentation :)  From what I can tell, it is 
saying that JACORB and _PRE_3_0_COMPILER_ are both set by default.  So I 
tried using -U to unset them, but it didn't solve my problem.  So I 
instead tried to set them -DJACORB, -D_PRE_3_0_COMPILER_ and that 
allowed the IDL to be compiled.

I'm using the Maven idlj compiler plugin, and I'm making the assumption 
that it doesn't undefine preprocessor symbols.

So I think there is a mistake in the documentation?  Can someone confirm?
