I sent mail earlier to Pete Forman, who submitted the existing
geometry-irix comparison file. He hasn't responded yet.

If Pete's lost interest then I'd be willing to adopt your results as
the standard geometry-irix file. If he's still interested then we'd
need to figure out a way for the resultmap mechanism to distinguish
older and newer MIPS hardware in order to accommodate two sets of
IRIX geometry results. Got any idea how to do that? (Does config.guess
produce any relevant info?)
