Aargh! Do we really need items 1 or 2? For item 1, are there really enough
people who have ifort but not icc? Or some other reason for wanting this?
As for 2, does g95 have an advantage over gfortran?
The reason for restricting the number of platforms (and compiler combinations)
we support is to reduce the chance of corner cases of incompatibility. Plus,
it makes life a little easier for develops if "gnu" or "intel" are the main
platforms -- I can commit a change without having to go find a g95 compiler to
make sure it works there as well.
Counter-arguments are welcome.
