Gah, even a little talking on debian-devel@ is so tiring. :) I really
dislike rule by the loudest.
It reminded me to send this patch so it doesn't get forgotten, so I
guess it's not a complete loss.
Patch is against Joyent's "master" branch (0.7.y). Looks like
upstream dropped --shared-cares and never added --shared-libev or
--shared-libeio, and the build system was revamped so the patch adding
mips support will need tweaking. So there's a little more work to do
before this is ready for experimental.

On some machines the "node" command refers to some program that is not
Node.js.
This patch adds a "nodejs" symlink that does exactly the same thing as
/usr/bin/node, for use when one wants to refer unambiguously to the
Node.js interpreter.
