Thats good! Can icc be used to compile the Allegro DLL? How does it compare
with plain MSVC and/or MinGW DLLs?

It's a different compiler though, so IMO there should be a seperate define
for it. Especially if we also want to support ICC in Linux, which is
something that has been on my personal wish-list for a while now.

Following the above and the logic that it's a different compiler, yes,
there should be a seperate makefile.icc.

I like it! :)
