Re: [pygame] MMX Transform for Win32

[Richard Goedeken <SirRichard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The code is in src/transform.c in the pygame tree.  The task at hand is to 
translate the 32-bit MMX code (I think there's 4 sections of code, each about 
40-60 lines) from the AT&T syntax used by GCC to the Intel style used by VC. 
The Intel format is compatible with masm, nasm, yasm, etc.  It's pretty easy to 
read.  The AT&T style is quite powerful but very strange looking, and if you 
don't have an inclination to learn a bit about it then the translation would be 
very hard.  Take a look at it and let me know if you want to take a crack at it. 
 I could always proof-read it.
