BTW, I meant to mention, here's an (old) Linux-only (??) MMX emulation library. Maybe you can take a look.

BTW, ever considered SSE2? I know CWSDPMI doesn't enable it (yet), but there are ways around that (e.g. use HDPMI32).

No, I'm not personally in favor of requiring MMX (or newer) for everything. However, you can always optionally use it if your computer supports it (may as well in that case). GCC is starting to support it ("-march=native -msse2"; something like "-ftree-vectorize" may/may not be enabled in -O3, maybe only in 4.3.0, I forget ...).
