no, patches replacing intrinsics by asm() are welcome!

really? didnt the ffmpeg altivec devels spend a huge amount of time getting
their code working on gcc 3.? on mac osx as well as linux

and all the debuging and bugeports due to gcc miscompiling some of the code

and the most important intrinsics optimality are at the mercy of gcc and
we all know how good gcc is at optimizations sometimes
