+	The vectorizer now supports vectorizing loops which contain any number of early breaks.
+	This means loops such as:
+	<pre>
+	    int z[100], y[100], x[100];
+	    int foo (int n)
+	    {
+	      int res = 0;
+	      for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
+		{
+		   y[i] = x[i] * 2;
+		   res += x[i] + y[i];
+
+		   if (x[i] > 5)
+		     break;
+
+		   if (z[i] > 5)
+		     break;
+
+		}
+	      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
+	or the vectorizer must be able to determine based on auxillary information
+	that the accesses are aligned.
+      </li>
