Then I still think we have a problem with the sample plan classes, e.g. in 
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/browser/boinc-v2/sched/plan_class_spec.xml.sample,
 where the SSE3 plan class does refer to the <cpu_feature> as sse3

Form what I remember the last time I looked at this, the CPU feature string is 
searched for within the text returned by /proc/cpuinfo.
