Hey,

What are you looking for exactly? More than vector3 and quaternions?
Anyway, this library looks serious, and it is more focused on linear 
algebra than Wm3, which is a very big collection of stuff.
It could be a good substitute if you have time to wrap it.

Testing it vs. wm3 (or... say.. wm3 vs. it) will not hurt for sure.
