Definitely useful in many situations.

If there are hpcmips packages which significantly diverge from the mipsel
packages on a standard build, then they should be in
/pub/NetBSD/packages/<release>/hpcmips/ *instead* of having a symlink to
`mipsel'.  Users should be able to use either pkg on a hpcmips, although
mipsel pkgs may be too big to fit in RAM.  :)

Note:  this may require some special changes to README.html, which creates
links for binary pkgs based on MACHINE only, and may need to check for both 
MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH.
