Hi Vincent,

This patch is only for ppc systems. It isn't suitable for other systems 
like x86, ARM etc.
I'm very happy about this patch. STK 0.8 works as well as the x86 
version of STK 0.8.
I have released a static package of STK 0.8 with AltiVec support and 
integrated Irrlicht patch:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/supertuxkart/files/SuperTuxKart/0.8/supertuxkart-0.8-altivec-linux-glibc2.13-ppc.tar.bz2/download

The Irrlicht patch is an unofficial patch for ppc systems at time. 
Unfortunately there isn't a link to a upstream svn commit. I'm sorry.

Regards,
Christian
