It once worked so it shouldn't be that difficult.  Just make sure you use
the newest MIPSpro compiler.  6.3 is certainly too old.  I don't remember
exactly which version of 7.3 I used, and don't have our IRIX machines
anymore.

This shouldn't be necessary with a modern C++ compiler.  Please show an
instance of that problem which fails with 7.3.

Post patches.  We most probably don't want uglyfying patches in CVS for
the 6.3 version of the compiler.


Ciao,
