5308	Generalize -msse2 command line flag to -msse<version number>	tibbe		"I'm looking into adding support for the `popcnt` instruction. The instruction should be used if the user specifies `-msse4.2`*. I think we should generalize the `-msse2` flag to be just `-msse` followed by a version number.

* Although not formally part of the SSE 4.2 instruction set, the `popcnt` instruction was added at the same time. GCC enables the `popcnt` instruction if you specify `-msse4.2`, so I thought it'd be reasonable for us to do so as well.
