Anyhow if you'll compile with something other than g++ you'll have other problems, so it's safe to assume nowadays that users would only compile it with g++. Remember, I want life easier for 99.9% of the users. The users of icc will need to test it anyhow, so this little toil is not the most difficult task they'll have to do.</div>

This actually makes sense, since the support of the GNU tools in windows is not as good as with windows so requiring the users of gcc to use Linux for compiling does make sense. Doing that from Mac makes less sense, and doesn't worth maintaining, so I care much less about this cases.</div>
