I'll try to provide an intiial description, of course we would need to  
update the user's guide as well

regarding ir_ab_names, I let Thomas answer

po_cos_naming_shell is similar to po_cos_naming, see ./ 
po_cos_naming_shell --help for more details.
po_cos_naming_shell allows you to interact with a COS Naming  
implementaiton, and navigate through it

po_createref is a tool used to create IOR strings from the list of  
parameters. Let me know if the command line
is not self-explanatory, I can add more information

gnatprfh is an internal tool used by iac, it should not be used by the  
end user. this tool computed
static minimal perfect hash table to be used when performing request  
unmarshalling and to perform
upcall to user code. CORBA GIOP is storing the name of the method to  
be called as a string, this hash
table ensures we can build a look up table for finding users code in  
skeletong
