question about ICL software

is there any difference quality wise with these programs?

the only reason i ask is would anyone be opposed to me distributing them on musepack.org as the "main" versions of the software and have the other compiles as secondary?

this might clear up confusion among people.

IIRC, the only difference that was noticed on LAME was a very minor bitrate increase, in conjuntion with a slightly better quality on a single test sample. So yes, there might be a difference between the Intel compiler and others quality-wise (we know the ICL is faster, hehe), but if so, it's for the better.

the ICL compile produced different filesizes than the MSVC compile simply because different switches were used. (different rounding methods).
if they shared an equivalent makefiles, there won't be much difference in the filesizes.
