implementing a ports tree is cake.  finding people to maintain all the ports
is where it gets hairy.  i have been tossing around the idea of doing a ports
collection for solaris, and i'd be more than happy to add IRIX to the mix.  but
i'm going to need the help of everyone here to do the ports to get it off the
ground.  any takers?

also, i'd like to do split trees for both, so that you can use gcc or the
commercial compiler.
