Dear wb-team,

first of all a short pre-story. I am running Debian Wheezy on Raspberry
Pi (soft float, armel).  I realized, that there are no wvdial available.
It is a little frustrating, because this tool is one of the most
convenient for setting up an internet connection from command line
through USB-modem (for me Raspberry works like a little server, so no
GUI, no nm-applet).

Wvdial cannot be built for armel, because wvstreams is not available for
this platform (#521473) due to some problems in the past. So I decided
to build packages of wvstreams and wvdial locally. After that wvdial was
installed from those debs and runs just fine!

So, I would like to ask wb-team to enable wvstreams for armel as, it
seems, the problem with getcontext() is not relevant any more. I think
many raspberry-users will be happy to get wvdial from official
debian-repositories.

Thank you,

Anton
