Current build status of the mips port
I went again through the mips build problems and collected the appended
list which records the current state, with a few annotations added.

Debian mips port, status 2007-05-16. See also:
http://buildd.debian.org/~jeroen/status/architecture.php?suite=unstable&a=mips&priority=
Architecture-independent problems, "failed" packages and Dep-waits are
not systematically tracked. The mipsel port is only incidentially tracked.
