You can install both versions at the same time. It's just a
a quite annoying procedure. Basically, you simply have to
fool the installation process by creating the directory it
expects per symlinking it to some other place. After the
installation, you need to fix some of the scripts of the
icc distribution.

However, I'm not sure it makes sense to run tests for
a compiler that apparently isn't supported anymore. So
I'm considering to drop intel 8.0, too.
