I have the AltiVec code working but I can't seem to get the external stuff
to work. Even the rotate cursor magic is missing the critical function that
actually rotates the cursor (I think it's an MPW thing). Someone that
already knows the incantations of GUSI should put together a client with my
AltiVec code and I'll keep working on making it faster.
