Comment (by diener):

 This patch doesn't work when applied to the rewrite branch. This is due to
 vector instructions being used and so the variable shiftGammaCoeffValue is
 declared as a CCTK_REAL_VEC. Comparing this to a scalar value does not
 work. The easy fix is to replace shiftGammaCoeffValue with the scalar
 parameter shiftGammaCoeff. The expression for shiftGammaCoeffValue
 guarantees that it is zero if shiftGammaCoeff is.
