I would be willing to help with this as well. I currently maintain a library called OpenMetaverseTypes (code is at http://www.openmetaverse.org/viewvc/index.cgi/omf/libopenmetaverse/trunk/OpenMetaverse/Types/) which implements Vector2/3/4, Quaternion, Matrix4, Color4, Ray, and a few collections. In the future I'd like to accelerate as many of these as possible. Sharing code with another library on top of Mono.Simd would be a good start.
