The install script did not work for me, so I pasted the following in .bashrc and
anything else that needed it.  (I do not know how to set the default paths for
the window GUIs so have to compile etc in a console.).

I got close to a 30 percent speedup (409 v 529) compared to gcc2.96 and
gcc3.0.1.  The Linux executable is now within a few percent of the Windows VC++
version.  Very impressive.  So much so, that I have not been using Windows since
I got it - just in time for XP

You can link statically if you want to produce an executable that does not need
the Intel libraries.

Hope the gcc guys talk nicely to Intel.
