I'm looking at this now and I'm really impressed at how far you have gotten. Haven't really booted it up yet as I need to rearrange my office yet again as I no longer have a space for my silicon graphics machines, but I will see if I can talk with some people who can offer me remote access and start working on this so that I'm not delaying any further.

Jwhat, what are the big to do list items that you think I could help with? At this point I'm really willing to let you handle the basics and I will only offer input where I think it's necessary. My view at this point is that we should just try to get things working with the tools that we already have and we can discuss packaging and bootstrapping a consistent environment after we have the actual ports tree functioning on some level.

My only area that I retain some hesitance on is the use of the default shells on IRIX due to known issues with their syntatical differences. Using something like mksh would enable us to get around some of those potential issues but I'm willing to table that for the time being.
