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.
