A logic gate chip with 1 ea XOR and 2 ea AND gates?

Granted I forgot the external clamp diodes, but I can't see why you think using the L293D is an advantage over the Rohm BD62x1. Here are compairsons that appear to favor the BD62x1:

???

Taking a closer look at the Rohm data sheets for their BD622x chips, it appears they also have internal clamp diodes, making it a further advantage for the BD622x1 over the L293D. The chip diagram from data sheet is in the attached image. Am I mis-interpreting this image??

Sorry for the delay, my ISP is sooooo lame!
Lots of HBridge chips out there, allegro makes a bunch of them, It trumps relays due to cost, reliability, size and they look better too even discrete transistors are still cheaper, smaller, and more reliable, though mosfets might be better than junction types.
