Apple suggests that developers don't write directly to Altivec but use their
"Accelerate" frameworks which ads an abstraction layer to SIMD code.

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Performance/Conceptual/Accelerate_
sse_migration/migration_intro/chapter_1_section_1.html>

That should facilitate both migration and the creation/maintenance of
SIMD-accelerated universal binaries.
