Hi you may notice, this change introduces an 25 MB patch. This is very
unfortunate but I do not see other options: In order to get the patches
that fix the sparc and alpha issue and add the mips support to work, the
autotools-related files needed an update. The only sane way to do it
seems to be calling upstream's ./autogen.sh which unfortunately requires
libtool >= 2.2, which is in experimental only. Since we can't build-dep
on a package in experimental, I updated the autotools-files with the
required version and added the result as a patch; which is this giant
piece. I use libtool 2.2 from experimental privately for some time now
and did not have issues, so I guess it's safe. I do not know if everyone
agrees with this steps but as I see it, it's either a large .diff.gz or
no upload before libtool 2.2 enters unstable which will probably be
after the release of Lenny.

Since we do not know for sure if the patches fix all issues, I recommend
uploading as is, that means no "closes" in the changelog. If the issues
get fixed, we can close them via email with version information (I
volunteer to do so) and change the changelog accordingly before the next
upload. From what I heared, this is considered OK to do.

If you could test the package, that would be great. If noone objects,
I'll upload the current version tomorrow.

Best regards
Manuel
