I spent some time working on 5.0.x; I've copied the existing 5.1 build
and worked in a branch. I got it to build for 5.8 with 64-bit support.

The package is reworked from the ground up. It contains different
binary layout, and different ISAs support. Previously, there were
pentium-specific x86 binaries. The new packages conform to our x86 +
amd64 standard.

I tried the new packages to be similar to the old ones, but some
differences were inevitable.

I still have things on my TODO list before the package is complete,
but I decided to release it at its current state so that people could
provide feedback.
