Hi,
In the BioC 3.6 release of the dada2 package, I've added sections of C code
that are explicitly vectorized using Intel SSE2 intrinsics. I've finally
got the package building on all three platforms, but to get WIndows/MinGW
building, I've had to add the -msse2 to the PKG_CXXFLAGS (etc) which is now
causing the following warning:

* checking compilation flags in Makevars ... WARNING
Non-portable flags in variable 'PKG_CPPFLAGS':
   -msse2
Non-portable flags in variable 'PKG_CFLAGS':
   -msse2
Non-portable flags in variable 'PKG_CXXFLAGS':
   -msse2


Two questions: Should I care about this warning or can I just ignore it?

Use a Makevars.win (same content as Makevars, but windows-specific, freeing up Makevars to be non-Windows specific) file to specify the flag only Windows.

Not sure about other packages using SSE / AVX.

And is there an example Bioconductor package using SSE (or AVX) intrinsics
out there somewhere, or some documentation of best practices?
