 Hi,

  I've gotten curious about VIS instructions, on sparc.  Anyway, gcc has
an option -mvis, which allows gcc to use VIS.  With this option is gcc 
limited to only using scalar instructions from this set?  Has anyone done
any work to allow the altivec vector functions to be translated into vis
instructions?
