The below is not claiming that the handling is an
inappropriate way to deal with a messy 32-bit
context. It is just an FYI about the messy
context.

The 32-bit "G4" PowerMacs have processors
that handle alitvec. The "G3" 32-bit PowerMacs
do not.

(Alitvec = VMX = Velocity Engine, with
distinct naming due to trademark ownerships.
The later VMX128 is somewhat distinct.)
