Hmmm...when I try to add a reference to "Mono.SIMD.dll" in my application
settings, I'm getting a dialog warning me that it targets a newer version of
.NET than the one my project is currently targeting. I'm currently targeting
.NET 2.0...which version does the SIMD dll require? 3.0? Sorry for all the
questions, but I can't find this info in the SIMD section of the docs.
