I just don't think we should add useless packages to the archive.
I mean we don't know one single system which could use the armhf
version and it's not very likley that such a system exists or will
exist. If you don't know much about the Glamo chip you should read
this: http://tehinterweb.com/glamo.txt. A modern ARMv7 system can
probably do faster 3D in software and is not limited to 320x240 ;)

So for me it's a like building fso-usaged-openmoko for x86 in case
somebody builds a freerunner using an x86 processor.

But if you all think it makes sense, we can add it of course.
