[1.36.0] High priority compilers for this release?

Changes I'd like to see include:

* Add Microsoft VC++ 9.0. This is now the most current version.
* Drop Microsoft VC++ 7.1. Supporting two versions (9.0 and 8.0) is
about all we can afford.
* Drop the Intel compiler on Windows. Not enough people seem to care
about this compiler/platform.

Other suggestions?

In proposing additions, please remember that each added compiler costs
us resources such as developer's time, and that our regression report
processing system is easy to overload. Also, we won't accept a new
platform unless someone is willing to run *daily* regression tests for it.
