I noticed a post annoucing the release of a VU C compiler last night:
http://playstation2-linux.com/projects/vuc/
Apparently it generates VCL code from a C-like source file. This may be interesting to those of you who would like a high-level introduction to VU assembly. There are vuc executables for PS2/Linux, X86/Linux and Win32.
Note: To produce the final .dsm file, you need access to the VCL tool. There is a PS2/Linux version of VCL on playstation2-linux.com. VUC will still generate output if you don't have VCL installed, you just won't be able to convert the VCL source into a .dsm file.
