Hmmm... I suppose the other thing I could do is put the /proc/cpuinfo
check into the 10.3 ebuild, and warn users if they're installing 10.3
and *should* be setting USE=sse2 to get 11.2 instead Maybe that's the
best solution!
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try to get at this change soon.

Or will backwards-incompatible changes be happening so frequently that
the package suffix will have to change for every EAPI bump anyway,
