:-)

That's what I did a year ago. Well I wrote a little C++ translation
program that did convert the gcc/icc switches to icl. But that's still
a pita.

A win developer's dream would be native configure script support for
icl, but I guess as lang as ms and intel don't really care about C it
will remain a hard task.

Thinking about that I remember that still stdint and stdbool headers
are missing for icl, because it just relies on the ms headers and
there they're missing.
