I'm looking now.  Is the gamma correction that's being done there
necessary, or do I just need to scale the values to the correct range?  I
ask because I think that I can write a very fast vectorized filter for
simple range scaling in MMX, but the gamma stuff needs a lookup table,
and can't be vectorized at all AFAIK.  Anyways, I have to take care of
some other work right now, but I'll get back to this shortly.
