I'd suggest a parenthetical on ssse3 as well, something like: |

ssse3: Use the SSSE3 instruction set (NOT sse3, three s) |

I know that confused me for awhile, and I tend to be reasonably literate |
| 11 |
(as a user, anyway) on this sort of thing, so I'd not be surprised in the |
| 12 |
least if a lot of sse3 only folks end up enabling it in error, as I did. |
| 13 |
The explicit three-count pointer should help eliminate that sort of |
| 14 |
confusion. |
