i have done another branch (since it is so funny): SIMD; as the name says, it is for getting MMX/SSE2 (and Altivec, if there is something left to do) to work.
btw: are there any include-files you need for AltiVec with gcc ? i haven't found anything in the sources, but MMX/SSE2 need files for intrinsics (icc, gcc and vc6), so i was wondering...
