 5a. Bug - If methods have non-string arguments the parser fails.

-5b. code from the methods subdirectory may not depend on orbit-idl generated
-    files, or these generated files need to be put into another subdirectory
+5b. fix method compile-order paradoxon: because methods.h (indirectly) includes
+    geas.h, the src/methods/ directory must be compiled after the src/
+    directory. But because geas-server links to libmethods.a, the src/
+    directory must be compiled after src/methods/.
 5c. Make methods code safe and separate from the main server.
 6.  enable long options and check options consistency with gnu standards
 7.  black box testing/qualification program for geas.  should be a python
