[pygame] Clang and ICC compiler support available for pgreloaded



Hi,

starting with SVN revision 2747, pgreloaded adds experimental support
for the LLVM Clang C compiler and Intel's C compiler for building the C
module extensions.

While the ICC support is currently just a simple stub and untested (this
will be improved over the next days), the LLVM Clang C compiler (with
Clang 2.6.6) was verified to work in different Linux and BSD
installations.
They do not deal well with the typical Python C and ld flags at the
moment, but this will be worked on :-).

For those of you, who want to try them out, I strongly recommend to take
a look at the LLVM Clang compiler. It's quite fast on compiling and
supports a solid GCC ABI compatibility (building Python with GCC
and pgreloaded with Clang works pretty well, for example).

Regards
Marcus
