[ODE] Optimizing for SIMD

Hi all,

This may be insane, but I just got the PS2 Linux kit and was idly 
considering porting ODE to it. Doing this "right" would involve 
implementing portions on the vector unit of the PS2. Has anybody out 
there thought about trying to optimize ODE for Altivec, SSE, or 
anything similar? I'm a little bit scared of the LCP solver, <famous 
last words> but it's only a few hundred lines of code, how hard could 
it be? </famous last words>
