Marcello,
I don't know enough about the Orlanski BCs, nor the specific  
implementation. I guess nobody had the time (or motivation) to code  
this bit. But there shouldn't be any principle limitations.

I'll fix up my Stevens OBC and check them into the code as soon as I  
find some time for this.
