i already implemented the runtime detection ... the problem is just that
gcc wants to have the march flag to compile the inline assembler
properly (to assign input and output registers to be exact) ...

i'm not sure, how to solve that in a portable way. i could only pass
pointers to the assembly code, but iirc, that results in a few obsolete
instructions ...
one could rewrite the whole function in assembler, but that wouldn't be
a clean solution either ... or it's possible to compile only the file
with the simd code with -march ...

if someone has an idea of a solution, i'm interested to hear it ...

cheers ... tim
