The Intel compiler icc has also <emmintrin.h> which defines the SSE2 
intrinsics.  <xmmintrin.h> has the SSE intrinsics (no 64-bit data types), 
including the stuff for setting rounding and abrupt underflow modes.
<mmintrin.h> has mmx data types.  Still, xmmintrin is enough to keep me busy 
for a few hours trying to beat Fortran matrix transposition.  Gotta whip out 
f2c and convert some Fortran, and uglify it some more with these things.
