It's been on my TODO list for a very long time to properly
document the author and get things merged.

The changelog indicates this was written by Christian Aichinger
<Greek0@gmx.net>

There is an other mips related patch in Debian.  I have code for

never send.  I can send what I currently have if that's useful.
