but where? we have to fix the old makefiles (new directory structure)
to bring them into cvs01, or move the blender code fixes into cvs
(original, or add a new one).

From my vantage the strength of regaining a crossplatform parity is best
acheived by going to the old structure, and not messing up the make.
but i have no appreciation for the work in moving code fixes.

I think by and large most people want to work on blender code, 
and are picking the cvs01 or independent cvs projects to work on.
so the blender code base is fragmenting anyway. if it has to come
together sometime, might as well do it now:

1) move back to old cvs (or make new one) this one it the closest to
   being crossplatform (as much as NaN was anyway)
2) overlay autoconf efforts to develope in parallel.
3) afterward being consolidation of cvs01, and independant code fixes
   to get back to 'one for all, and all for one code tree'

otherwise, we need to make fixing (did it ever work) the cvs makefiles
in the cvs01 tree a priority. when i got my cvs tree running it was
a lot of just guessing what to do, and where to start. it's been 1 month
and a half since i did it. once we begin again we should have the
directions documented ASAP.

anyone concerned with irix devleopment please email me. gather tools
versions (posted earlier) and compiler capability (ie gcc, or mipspro).
