Note that I'm not suggesting changing the default for everything to
/fp:strict.  The goal of the project building Python with ICC on
Windows is to change nothing for an MSVC build.  The default floating
point model should not change without a good reason, and this is not
it :)

I'll experiment with your suggestions, Steve and Stefan, discuss it
with Intel, and get back to you here.
