Great!  Soeren, let me know when you've had a chance to review the  
code bits, and I'd be happy to merge/upstream these.  One thing I saw  
that scared me -- http://virtualdub.org/blog/pivot/entry.php? 
id=188#body .  I know we're just using vanilla MMX, so maybe this  
doesn't apply, but it would probably be hepful to double-check the  
output from the intrinsics to make sure there isn't anything dumb  
coming out of the compilers..
