I have binNMUed these 4 packages which I have seen complaints about. The
rest of the packages should still be done but are not as important.

ALREADY DONE
==========
nmu uriparser_0.8.4-1 . mips mipsel . -m 'Rebuild with FPXX ABI'
nmu libglu_9.0.0-2.1 . mips mipsel . -m 'Rebuild with FPXX ABI'
nmu libxt_1:1.1.5-1 . mips mipsel . -m 'Rebuild with FPXX ABI'
nmu libxmu_2:1.1.2-2 . mips mipsel . -m 'Rebuild with FPXX ABI'
==========

Thanks.
James
