aah. I should have guessed that myself. I used mk.hpux instead of mk.hp.

Also I rewamped tons of Make* files to adopt my bsd install script. Later
I discovered yours, under tools/.

Things now work. Some models makes geomview produce tons of pow() and sqrt()
domain errors w/core dump, but..

I must say it compiled pretty painless after all. Btw. After installing
the geomview binary itself, it looked for gvx under my Geomview/bin/x11/.
geomview(1) obviously looks for gvx with *full* path under the source
root.
