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
(as a user, anyway) on this sort of thing, so I'd not be surprised in the
least if a lot of sse3 only folks end up enabling it in error, as I did.
The explicit three-count pointer should help eliminate that sort of
confusion.
