If I remember well, I think this is the code I borrowed for the
currently-broken vdec_idct_altivec.c. There was apparently a deadlock
in the code (?). One of my mistakes was that I forgot (or misplaced) the
matrix transpose at the beginning, and I haven't had time (nor a machine)
to debug it.

Well, you can still ask me questions, but I don't have an OS X machine
to test it - and BTW I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks on thursday, so
be quick :-).
