It is possible to write a function in C and call it directly from
library code (Spad code)
in OpenAxiom.  Here is a link

   http://parasol.tamu.edu/~gdr/OpenAxiom/ffi-draft.pdf

It has been used by Stefan Mai to experiment with SIMD features (SSE2,
SSE3, etc.)
on modern CPUs.  More recently, Arthur Ralf has been using it to
provide an interface
to his panAXIOM server project.
