bounty: convert TGE's processTriFan routine from stock x86 -> SSE

i am offering a coding bounty of $200 to the first person who posts a public resource which converts the various flavours of processTriFan in TGE's itfdump.asm file from stock x86 assembly code to code optimized using SSE.

specifically the sections which calculate tc0.s, tc0.t, tc1.s, tc1.t.

naturally the .asm must compile and produce the same visual results as the original, and hopefully be somewhat faster.. ;)

this bounty expires at the end of January, 2009.

not only would the author get the cash,
but they would have substantially contributed to the rendering speed of TGE !

actually it looks like i'll knock this myself in some limited fashion.
to really get the benefit of SSE you would want to rearrange how the data is stored, but the price of swizzling might not be too bad.

more to follow.
