[vtkusers] intel compiler icc 7.0

[Rudi Seemann]

Some of my intermediate results:
------------------------------------------------
1st: vtk compiles with icc. 
2nd: The cylinder example works fine.

3rd: icc - gcc comparison
TestRender from the bin directory shows following frame rate on a 2 GHz laptop 
with mesasoft.
Wall Time = 6.7396
FrameRate = 17.8052

A gcc compiled version of TestRender: 

Wall Time = 6.76542
FrameRate = 17.7373

4th: Problems appear using input functions of vtk:
------------------------------------------------------------------
vtkIO seems to fail in some routine calling a library function of 
libstdc++.so.5:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Exchanging the libvtkIO with a gcc 3.2 compiled version does not work because 
of linking errors. It should be possible to compile with icc and link with 
gcc (LinuxCompilersCompatibility60.pdf) I will try this. 

I am curious, if volume rendering can be fastened by icc.
