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.
