MiniCL includes a cross-platform run-time frontend based on pthreads, Win32 Threads, or libspe2 for Cell SPU.
It is there, to bridge the gap until OpenCL is more widely available.
See Bullet/Demos/VectorAdd, influenced by NVidia OpenCL Jumpstart Guide:

1) add AabbCaching versions of btPolyhedralConvexShape and btMultiSphereShape (this speeds up btMultiSphereShape 'getAabb', and reduces size of btBoxShape)
2) btCylinderShape doesn't derive from btBoxShape anymore
+ Minor fixes in drawing for btMultiSphereShape, btBoxShape.
+ Don't re-generate btDebugFont every frame
+ Disabled velocity prediction for btDbvtBroadphase. Previous default can be restored using btDbvtBroadphase->setVelocityPrediction(1./2.);
It is disabled by default, see Demos/Gpu2dDemo/btGpuDemoDynamicsWorld.h for instructions how to enable it
Cleaned up Extras/CUDA folder and libbulletcuda project

We plan to integrate the SPH into the core Bullet library, including interaction with rigid bodies and soft bodies.
+ applied patch to mix double/single precision meshes independent from double/single precision Bullet build
Thanks to Ole for the patch, http://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=213
+ re-enable warming starting in constraint solver, it was disabled by accident
+ fix btConvexHullShape constructor, so accept vertices with non-16-byte striding
Thanks Shawn Baird for report and fix: http://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=204
For example, to only allow linear motion in the X-Z plane, and only rotation around Y axis use:
body->setLinearFactor(btVector3(1,0,1));
body->setAngularFactor(btVector3(0,1,0));
Fix build issues with CodeBlocks, when generating projectfiles using CMake 2.6:
${OPENGL_glU_LIBRARY} should be ${OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY}
Fix build issue with CodeBlocks, comment out xmlfree in Extras/COLLADA_DOM/src/modules/LIBXMLPlugin/daeLIBXMLPlugin.cpp (will leak memory)
btRaycastVehicle and btKinematicCharacterController are derived from btActionInterface now.
Some cosmetic cleanup: changed sourceforce/sf.net url to bulletphysics.com.
Added optional flag btSoftBody::appendAnchor( int node,btRigidBody* body, bool disableCollisionBetweenLinkedBodies=false), to disable collision between soft body and rigid body, when pinned
Added btCollisionObject::setAnisotropicFriction, to scale friction in x,y,z direction.
Added btCollisionObject::setContactProcessingThreshold(float threshold), to avoid collision resolution of contact above a certain distance.
Avoid collisions between static objects (causes the CharacterDemo to assert, when a dynamic object hits character)
currently self-collision is always enabled for soft bodies that use clusters collision detectoin. to disable, call 'softbody.m_clusterConnectivity.clear' after 'generateClusters(...) call.
Usage: set RayResultCallback.m_flags to kF_FilterBackfaces, optionally combined with kF_KeepUnflippedNormal.
Thanks Andy O'Neil for the patch!
Remove the force_inline for some internal constraint solver methods, it makes re-use easier.
