You can do this by wrapping the ORBit-specific directive
#pragma inhibit push
#pragma inhibit pop

around the part of the IDL that you do not want stubs/skeletons generated
for.

To have the 'Part' code generated at least once, you may need to enclose 
each of the pragmas with #ifdef YES_I_WANT_TO_GENERATE_PARTS_INTERFACE_STUFF
