Bug#577087: ITP: spim -- MIPS R2000/R3000 emulator

[Jean-Christophe Dubacq <jcdubacq1@free.fr>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

This package previously existed in Debian/non-free, but was
removed due to lack of maintainership and being non-free.

Since I use this for teaching, and that the license changed
to BSD (except for one documentation file with no source),
I am willing to package and maintain it (with a sponsor).
A (lintian-clean) preliminary package is available at
http://debian.lipn.fr/html/package.spim.html

Since this package has been maintained in Ubuntu, I intend
to contact the Ubuntu maintainer and merge her changes if
they fit (such as a .desktop file, which I deemed at first
unnecessary).
