Wow, I never knew about that option.  Cool -- thanks!

Are you suggesting Mesa standardize on the Intel compiler on Windows?
I'd like to politely request that Mesa not go this route.  A particular
application I work on is quite large, with a substantial software stack
(Mesa included) as third party dependencies.  Everything else is using
MSVC, and I don't relish having a mixed-toolchain setup -- MSVC with
all its compile modes is harsh enough.

Simply supporting Intel on Windows, of course, isn't a bad thing.
