+    The vectorizer now supports vectorizing loops which contain any number of early breaks.
+    This means loops such as:

+	int z[100], y[100], x[100];
+	int foo (int n)
+	{
+	  int res = 0;

+
+	       if (z[i] > 5)

+
+	    }
+	  return res;
+	}
+    </pre>
+    can now be vectorized on a number of targets.  In this first version any
+    input data sources must either have a statically known size at compile time
