I think it looks very promising.

The way we should integrate this is in a separate pixman-sse.c file
that is compiled with -msse. Then a new table of SSE2 fast paths
should be added in pixman-pict.c similar to the one we already have
with MMX fast paths.

Unfortunately we can't just compile pixman-mmx.c with -msse because we
still need to support systems that have MMX, but not SSE.

Once we have such a file, it probably makes sense to move the code
guarded with USE_SSE in pixman-mmx.c into it.

Yes, the cairo test suite is also testing many (though not all) parts
of pixman.

If the cairo test suite passes when run like this:

        env CAIRO_TEST_TARGET=image make test

then that's a good indication that pixman didn't break.
