Personally, I seriously doubt that it can be done, and I will be very surprised
if anyone can even come close. The dragonball runs at 20MHz (which isn't very
fast these days), but it also has a 16bit bus and has a hard time with common 32
bit math (anything more complicated than binary operations, addition and
subtraction requires a subroutine call to compiler glue).  But on the other
hand, I'm not very familiar with the algorithm so there's always a chance that
I'm off base... I've been surprised before.  :-)
