Hash :59337a67 Message :PowerPC: Detect AltiVec support on OS X
libjpeg-turbo's AltiVec SIMD extensions previously assumed that AltiVec
instructions were available on all Power Macs that supported OS X 10.4
"Tiger" (the earliest version of OS X that libjpeg-turbo has ever
supported), but Tiger can actually run on PowerPC G3 processors, which
lack AltiVec instructions. This commit enables run-time detection of
AltiVec instructions on OS X/PowerPC systems if AltiVec instructions are
not force-enabled at compile time (using -maltivec). This allows the
same build of libjpeg-turbo to support G3, G4, and G5 Power Macs.
Closes #609
