Comment (by eschnett):

 We should ensure that this change of the default behaviour does not impact
 existing configurations. In many cases, existing configuration were hand-
 tuned for performance, or were designed according to similar
 configurations, and this work should not be undone by changing a default.

 In other words: This patch is okay to apply if corresponding
 VECTORISE_INLINE=yes statements are added to those configurations which
 don't set this option at the moment, in particular for those
 configurations that do not use the Intel compiler. (If a configuration
 uses the Intel compiler, then it is a judgement call whether it should be
 changed without testing.)

 On another note, machines not supported by Simfactory would probably not
 use vectorisation unless the user explicitly sets this, probably by
 copying from another configuration.
