+To modify the CORBA IDL file you must do some extra steps.
+A number of files are generated from the IDL file, and one of them
+(..-skelimpl.c) is also edited directly.  Before editing the nitpicker.idl
+file, run "make begin-idl".  Then edit the IDL file.  Once done, run
+"make end-idl".  There is currently no equivalent for nitevent.idl,
+though one could be created using the existing Makefile as a model.
