It seems to be confused by the fact that I'm using the EM64T version of the
intel compilers.  The version string printed by my compiler is:

Intel(R) Fortran Compiler for Intel(R) EM64T-based applications, Version 9.0
Build 20050430 Package ID: l_fc_p_9.0.021

I updated this regex, and also commented out some options that aren't valid for
the EM64T compiler. A diff on intel.py from today's svn reveals:

This gets the compiler to run, and builds the extension module. The
resulting module doesn't quite work right though. I'll make a separate
post about that though.

Of course these changes may break things for 32-bit platforms.
