Comment (by gk):

 I am not overly thrilled having any `sudo` incantations in our start
 script. But maybe there is an other way to check for SSE2 support in the
 start script? Or maybe we just declare that there aren't any CPUs in daily
 use anymore without SSE2 support and just remove the check? Or...
