I spent some time last weekend porting bash-1.05 to Irix.  I currently
have it running on a 120GTX under 3.2 and on a 210GTX under 3.3.  I
gave up trying to get job control working under 3.2, but it seems to
work fine under 3.3.  I only made minor changes to config.h,
machines.h, jobs.c, and nojobs.c to get things working.

I have sent a message to Brian informing him that I have what appears
to be a working version for Irix, but have not heard back from him
yet.  If bash-1.06 is not going to be released anytime soon, I can dig
up the original 1.05 sources and generate some diffs.
