Nope, not your fault, nor mine ;-)

I happen to have recently installed the intel 7 compiler and here's the
problem. The iccvars.sh script in it no longer sets "IA32ROOT" which is how
we are detecting if the script was used already.

It seems the only "solution" now is to support a way of setting the root, as
in document INTEL_LINUX_ROOT and make it work.

Any other ideas?
