BUG#: 4996
TITLE: PEP 233 Embedded Instance Support

DESCRIPTION:

Modifications to add support for the embedded instance type in Pegasus 2.6. Currently the functionality is off by default and must be enabled by defining at build time the variable PEGASUS_EMBEDDED_INSTANCE_SUPPORT with a value of "true".
