- Had to install setuptools. This should be mentioned in the README.
- python and git need to be in PATH for `python setup.py build` to

ViennaCL truly peformance-portable will require at some point
hardware-adaptive padding size.
For now, the generator only handles NonTrans x Trans multiplication, but I
can already tell that :

Oops,
Something else I forgot to mention. GEMM is not the only routine on the
Earth ;) It may very well be the case that an optimized FFT would require a
different padding size. It gets tricky. We might have to run the auto-tuner
for a lot of different padding sizes...
