I'm just working on it. The use of intel's SSE2 extensions were for testing 
purposes on initial development. It proved to compute encoding and decoding 
very fast, but I've always had in mind that this should be changed. However I 
have been more focused on finding bugs and stabilizing the code than changing 
this.

Now I'm working on a pure C solution. I can't predict how it will really 
perform, but an estimate will be half of the speed of SSE2 (basically because 
SSE2 uses 128 bits operations and the new implementation will use 64 bits). 
However this will still be pretty fast.

I'll let you know when it's finished.

As a thought is this "hours" or "days" or <etc> away?

Wondering if we should merge the CR Manu mentioned in the meantime, so NetBSD
building works... ;)

Thoughts?
