[New-bugs-announce] [issue24953] ICC and version should be in COMPILER string when built with ICC on Windows

[Zachary Ware]

New submission from Zachary Ware:

This patch makes the compiler portion of the sys.version string look something like "[ICC v.1500 32-bit (Intel) with MSC v.1500 CRT]" when Python is built with ICC.  This format keeps distutils happy without having to change its parsing of the version string to decide which compiler to use for extensions, while making it possible to tell which compiler was used to build Python.
