Detecting implementations of CDR specifications...

[Alessio Stalla]

Well, it really depends on the CDR; some of them may define a precise API
in a specific package and/or don't allow multiple implementations to
coexist (e.g. the MOP). Perhaps it would be better to remove any reference
to the package system altogether and simply state that some CDRs might be
provided by multiple coexisting implementations, and, in those cases, it is
not specified how to select one of them.
