 I still have a major MIPS feature to commit (which the recent commits are 
a preparation to) and don't expect to have it there but by the end of next 
week.  I thought you'd be creating the branch after the New Year only -- 
which I think would be reasonable due to the festive season and people 
being busy with other activities.
