icc should be treated as a compiler, not as a USE flag. So if all you 
need to do is set up CC, CFLAGS, CXX and the like, just make sure the 
package respects the environment. If there's something else you need to 
do, such as set up a special config file for icc, you can do it based on 
tc-getCC() or tc-getCXX() rather than USE=icc.

Thanks,
Donnie
