Re: ares and n64 support

I was thinking of using -march=3Dx86-64-v2 and manually adding the
x86-64-v2-support package to the Depends field. That's why it seems
mean to me. I don't think the upstream source can discriminate at
runtime.

The other way to keep everyone happy would be to split the package.
There could be an ares-legacy package which would be the same as the
current package (i.e. built against v1, no n64 support) and
introduce an ares-full package built against v2 with n64 support.

Anyone upgrading from the current package would get ares-legacy. We
could put one of those NEWS things up when people upgrade warning
people about the split and if their system supports v2 they should
uninstall ares-legacy and install ares-full.

My pleasure! Thank you also for your cleanup efforts on it recently.
