Intel C++ on Linux is called "icc".  ("icl" is the designation of Intel C++
on MS Windows).  Please don't confuse me.

Please also have a look at the compiler output, available via the links
on the boost compiler status web page.

Note that icc gets a segmentation fault in some internal component while
compiling about every second source file.  This appears to be due to
the coupled preprocessor/compiler.  I'll commit regression test results
soon which have the preprocessing and compilation stage decoupled
manually (via compiler.cfg).  This fixes most of the failures.
