On Fedora systems, javax.rmi.CORBA.PortableRemoteObjectDelegate is
provided by the jonathan-rmi package.  This is a tiny package that
provides these few classes:

javax/rmi/CORBA/ClassDesc.class
javax/rmi/CORBA/PortableRemoteObjectDelegate.class
javax/rmi/CORBA/Stub.class
javax/rmi/CORBA/StubDelegate.class
javax/rmi/CORBA/Tie.class
javax/rmi/CORBA/Util.class
javax/rmi/CORBA/UtilDelegate.class
javax/rmi/CORBA/ValueHandler.class
javax/rmi/PortableRemoteObject.class
org/omg/SendingContext/RunTime.class
