[ome-users] Build C++ bindings cannot find Ice.h

[josh.moore at gmx.de]

Thanks for the feedback on the PPC build, Mario. Hopefully it'll help
someone out there. I've just committed to trunk fixes for the C++
build issue you were having. The ice.home property is now respected,
or failing that, the ICE_HOME environment variable. Let me know how
your build goes (mine is still running!)
