I've done the MIPS port of Linux but I'm not much a light if it
comes to unusual programming languages like Mercury.  So if you
want your language to be tested on a Linux/MIPS box, tell me
if there is any particular things that need to be tested.

Do we want to test it on Linux/MIPS? I could ask him for an account
to test it out with. If he's worried about that, it might not be worth
pushing it to ask him to install it (if it doesn't work out of the
box, it might be a bit of work).
