 The hashable package needs to know if GHC was invoked with -msse4.1 so it
 can call out to faster C code in that case. I'd like to propose that GHC
 provides the following defines when running the preprocessor:

 {{{
 ## If SSE is turned on at all:
 #define __SSE__ 1

 ## Only with -msse2 and up:
 #define __SSE2__ 1

 ## Only with -msse4.1 and up:
 #define __SSE4_1__ 1
 }}}

 This behavior is consistent with GCC.

 Note that on some platforms SSE2 might be enabled by default and so should
 the defines.
