Ryan,

Thanks for the e-mail. Just for the record, I got in touch with TTimo 
(very nice guy, btw) and he gave me the e-mail of an other ex-Loki 
employee who worked on the IRIX port. There was one IRIX port built by 
Richard Hess (the 1.17 IRIX build was an internal BETA at SGI)  but the 
project was cancelled and the sources and binaries were destroyed as per 
the agreement with Loki.

So it looks like I have no source to try to recover and I will start from 
the current code base...
