How about a cross-compiler SIMD module?

Apart from memset, memcpy etc., I think that if we are to have a 
simd
module, that makes sense to be cross-compiler. On the other hand, 
people seem to
like the idea to add them separately on LDC and GDC versions. I 
don't know.

Well, it seems like a sane way to do SIMD. I hope it goes well.
