I don't want to be too pushy, but any hope of this happening any time soon?

I'm very interested in porting the parallelizing code to Cell, and possibly also
to CUDA. Right now the only option seems to be to wait for 3.7 or reinvent the
wheels from a 3.6 base.

I know the real issue is policy, but again I'll offer the resources to help make
it available. If Perforce access is a limiter, there's always the Perforce to
SVN repository converter to simplify getting it out to us masses.
