[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello Ludovic,

Sorry for taking so long time.
I discus with the developper upstream. Here is what he tells me:
---------------------------------
Even if it builds SSE support, it will only be used at runtime if the
platform supports it. It uses CPUID internally to detect the CPU
capabilities when run.
-------------------------------

He will also add a note to clarify things in the next release!

Thanks.
