On Windows this should be done using:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xs6aek1h.aspx

On GCC, something like:  http://softpixel.com/~cwright/programming/simd/cpuid.php

In both cases we also want to check the OS's support of it.

If it's not supported, do one of:
1. Make SIMD unselectable.
2. Make them selectable, but silently use LOOP instead of SIMD.
3. Use LOOP instead of SIMD, but display a message.

Note that all the platforms I have available for testing support SIMD.
