rfc: auto-casted vector types

The PPC E500 API specifies that vector types of type __ev64_opaque__
(V2SImode) can interconvert with other vector types without a cast.
For example:
#define __vector __attribute__((vector_size(8)))
typedef int __vector __ev64_opaque__;
typedef float __vector __ev64_fs__;
typedef int __vector __ev64_int__;
__ev64_fs__ f;
__ev64_int__ i;
__ev64_opaque__ op;
/* Do not require a cast. */
op = f;
f = op;
op = i;
i = op;
I had originally kludged a solution in comptypes() and
convert_for_assignment() because I thought nobody would be interested
(or would agree), but Nick has since cleaned up my patches a bit, and
they don't look that bad: three lines of actual generic code.
I'd like to get input on:
(a) the feasibility of including these patches
(b) alternate solutions that would be accepted
(c) including the patch below in contrib/
As you can probably guess, I didn't design the API, so no flames please
;-).
Comments?
