[ODE] More speed???

[Brendan McCarthy]

Hi,

Don't forget us non-x86 users either :)

I only have a G3 with no altivec, but apple has a library called 
'veclib' that contains altivec stuff, but is also supposed to be pretty 
fast without it.

So it would be good if we could come up with a nice way to take 
advantage of all the different ways of doing things.

cheers,
-Brendan McCarthy
