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.
