Summary: Irix MIPSpro compile instructions

Initial Comment:
README.IRIX instructs:

# to use the MIPSPro compiler
./configure  CC="cc" CXX="CC" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -OPT:
Olimit=32768 -DEFAULT:abi=o32:isa=mips3:proc=r5k -LANG:std 
-F:template_in_
elf_section -no_auto_include -ptused -prelink" CFLAGS="-O2 -OPT:
Olimit=32768 -DEFAULT:abi=o32:isa=mips3:proc=r5k -LANG:std 
-no_autoinclude -ptused -prelink"


This has several problems: the passing of the variables, and 
mistakes in the compiler flags.

The instructions should rather say,

env CC="cc" CXX="CC" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -LANG:std -FE:
template_in_elf_section -ptused -prelink" CFLAGS="-O2 -LANG:
std" ./configure

key changes are,
  - use of env
  - correction of -FE: (-F: is just wrong)
  - and the use of C++ only flags in the CXXFLAGS and not in 
CFLAGS where they are meaningless
  - remove use of Olimit, there is no problem of exceeding 
optimization limits with modern MIPSpro compiler and bzflag2.


An additional suggestion would be to add the CXXFLAG "-woff 
3303" because there are hundreds warnings for "A type qualifier 
on a return type is meaningless."
