Hi,
I solved some of the open issues. It took a little longer because I tried to
put everything in 2.2 and I'm having major problems compiling the kdelibs-2.2
under IRIX. I partly succeeded but now mcopidl  gives me a bus-error.

Here are the details:

 - I can't include patches which simply remove the math.h include. Is there
   another way? Whats the problem with it?

undid this changes,  they where experimental anyway.

 - If you can do it, I would be happy if you wrote a configure test, so that
   the code compiles correctly "out-of-the-box"

done

 - I am not terribly happy with selectFD1 - would it be possible to have a
   proper distinction between the-fd-you-select-on-for-reading and the-fd-
   you-select-on-for-writing? So that we can save the ifdef in the non-
   driver specific part?

removed the #ifdefs so now the selectFD1 is always there but only the sgi
driver uses it.
I don't know if that solutions is the best.

 - I think newer versions of convert.cc have i16be conversion routines, so
   you can use those (but that shouldn't be an issue anyway, I'll see that
   while merging)
yes indeed 2.2 has it.
 - It would be great if you could format the code in a way that it displays
   properly with four-spaces-tabs (all aRts code is indented that way).

hmmm I checked again and it looks ok to me. I don't convert tabs to spaces.

That's it so far.
I will send the code in the next few days.
