For a patch release? I'd understand dropping support in major
release and possibly minor releases, and adding support in minor
releases, but I would think nothing would change, in terms of
supported platforms, between patch releases. Not that there
would be a problem with adding support in patch releases also;
just seems like a distinguishing factor between minor and patch
releases.

I noticed Intel C++ 10.1 is not on the list.
That brings up another related issue. Do we need to identify
the exact version numbers? Or does HP C++ 6.16 for example
mean that any other versions of the 6.x compiler are
intentionally NOT supported?
