This requires someone having an older version. I haven't found one yet.
Until now we have compared icc using -O3 (25 *minutes* compile time per
file), to gcc using just -O2 (compiling in 3 seconds). I will try some
different versions of icc as well as MD5_PARA values (very time consuming),
but also different sets of options to gcc and see where we end up.

I changed label now but not the name so it's just cosmetical. I found it
misleading when loading an AIX {smd5} hash and it answered
Loaded 1 password hash (FreeBSD MD5 [128/128 AVX intrinsics 12x])
...as if that was specifically what's been loaded. We can use md5crypt
instead though.
