+Enabling SSE support
+
+Copyright (c) 2016 Google, Inc.
+Written by Mike Klein, Matt Sarett
+
+This INSTALL file written by Glenn Randers-Pehrson, 2016.
+
+If you have moved intel_init.c and filter_sse2_intrinsics.c to a different
+directory, be sure to update the '#include "../../pngpriv.h"' line in both
+files if necessary to point to the correct relative location of pngpriv.h
+with respect to the new location of those files.
+
+To enable SSE support in libpng, follow the instructions in I, II, or III,
+below:
+
+I. Using patched "configure" scripts:
+
+First, apply intel_sse.patch in your build directory.
+
+   patch -i contrib/intel/intel_sse.patch -p1
+
+Then, if you are not building in a new GIT clone, e.g., in a tar
+distribution, remove any existing pre-built configure scripts:
+
+   ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode
+   make maintainer-clean
+   ./autogen.sh --maintainer --clean
+
+Finally, configure libpng with -DPNG_INTEL_SSE in CPPFLAGS:
+
+   ./autogen.sh --maintainer
+   CPPFLAGS="-DPNG_INTEL_SSE" ./configure [options]
+   make CPPFLAGS="-DPNG_INTEL_SSE" [options]
+   make
+
+II. Using a custom makefile:
+
+If you are using a custom makefile makefile, you will have to update it
+manually to include contrib/intel/*.o in the dependencies, and to define
+PNG_INTEL_SSE.
+
+III. Using manually updated "configure" scripts:
+
+If you prefer, manually edit pngpriv.h, configure.ac, and Makefile.am,
+following the instructions below, then follow the instructions in
+section II of INSTALL in the main libpng directory, then configure libpng
+with -DPNG_INTEL_SSE in CPPFLAGS.
+
+1. Add the following code to configure.ac under HOST SPECIFIC OPTIONS
+directly beneath the section for ARM:
+
