Would that be possible?
or is it too obscure of a cpu addon?

Re: SSE, AVX and ARM NEON ... and Altivec?
That would be possible, and we did discuss about it. It is even included in the list of instruction sets and detected for SDL backends:

However it was not a priority and there was no time to implement it during the Google Summer of Code project last year.

@criezy
mmh, is that a sign that it could/will be forgotten, or will it be picked up again
i don't really know what gain i could get with an altivec supported version, but i guess every bit counts.
and, if im not mistaken, as soon as altivec support is compiled in, the binary will not be able to fall back, so its two binaries from then on?
