Not really. As you already know in the past I tried to use icl with
the FFmpeg configure script directly, but I'm not good enough in
scripting to be able to add native icl support. That's a pitty,
because I think that would be the most straight solution and I think
it is possible. I know that it takes some additions (like stdint.h,
etc.), but most things come with MinGW and some parts could be hosted
on svn.ffmpeg.org as SVN externals.

As Intel's compiler under Linux (icc) tries to behave like gcc (and
use/accept gcc switches) and under Windows (icl) tries to imitate
Microsoft's compiler. That's the reason that you can't easily use icl
to build FFmpeg.

What I'm trying out now is to sort of translate icc's Linux switches
to icl's Windows switches. The problem is that there are many switches
that don't have a counter part on the other side, so I guess full
featured build will not be possible/easy. Also I haven't yet thought
about asm.

With these trials (sending different source files to icl), I found
that icl complains about the {0} initialisation.
