While I wouldn't personally weep for its loss, I think it's premature. The
others Peter Eisentraut removed have been in the ground about a decade longer
than IRIX. In the absence of a specific reason to believe PostgreSQL no
longer works on the platform or a notable maintenance benefit from removing
its platform-specific source code, let's keep it awhile.
