Targetting G5 is not much harder than targetting G4.  Very few people
will develop G5-specific applications.  However, some performance
hot-spots can definitely benefit from G5 optimization just as some can
benefit from Altivec optimization, and it's almost as easy to add some
G5-specific code that gets called at runtime as it is to add some
Altivec-specific code that gets called at runtime.

The problem is that it doesn't sound like CodeWarrior 9 will generate
this G5-specific code.  With the December 2002 release of the Mac OS X
Developer Tools and the GCC 3.3 update from Apple, I can generate that
G5-specific code today.
