patch

Add support for building with AltiVec extensions. Note that because MACHINE=
_CPU
is not defined on powerpc*, we rely only on ARCH.

Because of this I chose to optimize using instructions available in POWER8 =
and
newer, so this port built with SIMD option won't work on older POWER CPU's =
(we
could however add additional options for that, to support AltiVec in older
POWER, if necessary).

Tested on powerpc64 and amd64 (with and without SIMD on both).

Hardware sponsored by IntegriCloud.
