[ROOT] ROOT compilation

Dear all,

After an excursion on compiling root with icc / gcc, the conclusion is
that icc is useless; at least to compile root.

>From all my atempts at compiling root with icc, only the -O0 worked...
at half the rootmarks of gcc.

Another thing I tried was gcc -O3 against the normal binary packaged
root. It lost by a small margin (probably within error bars).

So, all in all, the binaries look like a good option.

Cheers,

Andre
