I'll take a look at it. It might be useful for my robot vision research
(and yes, that will run on StrongARM hardware).

True. My point was simply that there's nothing which says you _can't_
use integer math so it will perform better on a processor which has no 
hardware FP support (you can still use floating point math to test your
algorithms using the FP emulator, then optimise away the floating point
code bit by bit).
