This will enable anything up to and including SSE-4.2 (but nothing 
beyond it - the auto probing is disabled):

    ./configure --enable-simd=sse4.2

Likewise, "--enable-simd=sse2" will enable SSE2 but nothing beyond it, 
and so on.

See also README-DISTROS for an extremely brief crash course in how to 
make a fallback binary chain.
