Let's just re-add the temporary variable for hit_eof. The struct idea is
clever, but it's just a little more complicated than I think is necessary
here.
I've also removed the goto in favor of just duplicating the "out" code,
like you had before. I'd like to avoid sporadic #ifndef USE_NO_SIMD uses,
and goto is out of fashion, anyway.
