With icc & MKL it fails to find the MKL libraries.

Without MKL linked it runs the tests perfectly after being
compiled with icc:

However, if distutils/system_info.py is hacked to make it find
MKL, it builds w/o error, but fails the test:

MKL FATAL ERROR: /opt/intel/mkl/10.0.3.020/lib/32/: cannot read file data: Is a directory
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As far as MKL goes, we're making negative progress -- I used to be
able to compile a 'good' numpy with icc & MKL that would pass the
unit tests. Now, just with icc, but not with MKL.  

FWIW, there are two changes to system_info.py that are required to link MKL.

class lapack_mkl_info(mkl_info):

    def calc_info(self):
        mkl = get_info('mkl')
        if not mkl:
            return
        if sys.platform == 'win32':
            lapack_libs = self.get_libs('lapack_libs',['mkl_lapack'])
        else:
            lapack_libs = self.get_libs('lapack_libs',['mkl_lapack32','mkl_lapack64'])

        info = {'libraries': lapack_libs}
        dict_append(info,**mkl)
        self.set_info(**info)

This will fail because all 3 MKL versions (since version 9.x)
have a common name: mkl_lapack

The other change is vml. From reading the Intel examples, I think
(but could be wrong) that vml doesn't need to be explicitly
linked to get its functionality, but mkl_lapack does. This requires
changing:

class mkl_info(system_info):
    section = 'mkl'
    dir_env_var = 'MKL'
    _lib_mkl = ['mkl','vml','guide']

to:

class mkl_info(system_info):
    section = 'mkl'
    dir_env_var = 'MKL'
    _lib_mkl = ['mkl','mkl_lapack','guide']


After these two changes are made, MKL is used (with my site.cfg),
but the result is a numpy that fails the unit tests spectacularly.
