Great! I'll wait for the new patch. Thanks for the help!

One more question: I'm currently using dragonegg for autovectorization, 
but I cannot get any vector longer than 4 elements for floats and 2 for 
doubles. I suspect this is because my processor doesn't support bigger 
vectors. However, I would like to generate bigger vectors into the LLVM 
IR, and then decide what to do with them in the backend. Can your 
vectorizer do something like that?

Thanks,
Pablo
