+Liboil is a library of simple functions that are optimized for
+various CPUs. These functions are generally loops implementing
+simple algorithms, such as converting an array of N integers to
+floating-point numbers or multiplying and summing an array of N
+numbers. Such functions are candidates for significant optimization
+using various techniques, especially by using extended instructions
+provided by modern CPUs (Altivec, MMX, SSE, etc.).
