   While I'm here, say need_pax=no for IRIX until we find out otherwise (better
   than not having it declared at all).  Will probably be yes eventually.


IRIX pax, last i knew, still has the bug that causes it to
reset directory timestamps to "now" even with "-pe".  it
does set the timestamp on the dir -- but then goes and creates
new files / dirs in it, which updates it.  our pax has always
handled this correctly (mostly, anyway.. remember the old pax
& file /tmp lossage?)  this bug is still in all system5(?)
derived systems' pax that i've used (solaris, irix, some
random svr4 for intel i can't remember now, and a couple of
others.)


it's best to avoid it.
