John the ripper has support for SSE2 instructions for some time now. These can
be enabled during compilation by selecting the "linux-x86-sse2"
profile.Currently the ebuild does not support this. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -pv johntheripper
2.note the absence of the SSE2 use flag

Actual Results:  
No SSE2 optimized john the ripper available :-(

Expected Results:  
SSE2 optimization for john the ripper.

Adding SSE2 support should be easy, as there is smimilar support for MMX. I can
provide a patch for the ebuild if needed.
