The advice of our trademark counsel is to call this the "Porting Project
for MIPS".  The appearance of the mark at the end of the phrase, rather
than the beginning, constitutes fair use.

To make this work in the left nav bar on the web pages we can shorten it
to "Port: MIPS", and for consistency also change "Haiku Port" to "Port:
Haiku".  This will cause all the porting projects to be listed together
in the nav bar, which is kind of nice too.

The Project URL will be http://openjdk.java.net/projects/mips-port.

Okay?
