Loan me you machine for a few months (years) and I'll make Screamer or AdHoc
take advantage of AltiVec and even give a go at using both processors.
Otherwise,  until I'm independently wealthy or a few more years go by, I'll
still be programming on my G3 266mhz.

BTW.  I think it will be easy to make Screamer/AdHoc OS X compliant.  No point
right now because I have not one to test it (I'll stick with 8.6), and then
everyone without OS X would need the Carbon lib from the Apple site to run it.
