Ok, this is fixed in svn revision #398. We were correctly detecting
whether or not you have altivec, but we forgot to actually disable the
altivec codepaths in the case that you don't (my bug, sorry!).

svn revision #398 also adds an attempt at Altivec detection for non-OSX
platforms, lifted from SDL's source...PowerPC Linux people, please let
me know if this doesn't compile and/or doesn't work.
