Howdy EBers,
I rather like the GCC dependency in the new intel-2014b toolchain
BUT for the fact that it makes Lmod's 'family("Compiler")' more
complicated. I'm rather torn whether the system gcc is a better
source or not (it may vary).
I was going to try to update my multi-threaded R pull request,
but I got confused by the toolchain. Should I stick with
ictce or should I move to intel?
What's the plan in terms of intel-XYZ vs. ictce-ABC?

@JackPerdue : I don't see the need to include these comments in the easyconfig
file (since it's not included in the other ictce easyconfig files either).
Also, there will be a pull request for an intel toolchain soon, that will have
a version like 2014b (to indicate 2nd half of 2014). The idea is that this can
be a common toolchain to be used by the EasyBuild community (for whoever sees
the need to, no pressure). The framework support for this is contributed in
hpcugent/easybuild-framework#956 . More on this later on a mailing list near
you.
One key difference between ictce and intel (next to the name and the versioning
scheme) is that we will include GCC as a dependency for the Intel compilers
there, rather than depend on the system GCC like is done in `ictce.
