Very good. That's what I get know in a make.config.defn when configuring 
with CC=icc CXX=icpc F90=ifort:

   CFLAGS      = -restrict
   CXXFLAGS    = -restrict
   F90FLAGS    = -align -w95
   F77FLAGS    = -align -w95
   CPPFLAGS    =
   FPPFLAGS    = -traditional

   C_LINE_DIRECTIVES = no
   F_LINE_DIRECTIVES = no

   # Compiler versions
   # CC:  Intel(R) C Compiler for 32-bit applications, Version 8.1 
Build 20050406Z Package ID: <installpackageid>
   # CXX: Intel(R) C++ Compiler for 32-bit applications, Version 8.1 
Build 20050406Z Package ID: <installpackageid>
   # F77:
   # F90: Intel(R) Fortran Compiler for 32-bit applications, Version 8.1 
    Build 20050406Z Package ID: <installpackageid>


I'll put that in now.
