mcgui tests and more

[Farhi]

The mcgui-2 still crashes. But anyway, it's strange to see mcgui crash on SGI
but not on Linux...

On mica/SGI/IRIX : This is perl, version 5.005_02 built for -irix
on tequila/Linux/i586 : This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i586-linux
on macfarhi/Linux/ppc : This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for ppc-linux

Perhaps the _03 is better...

Thanks pal.
EF.
