I have two questions on CGAL developments:

- I have just installed the latest version of the Intel compiler (11.1/088),
and it seems that compatibility with CGAL-3.6 is even worse than it was
before (although the Intel compiler could not compile the libraries, it did
compile the headers included by my program, so that I could compile the
program with the icpc and link the gcc-compiled library; now this is broken).
Are there any plans to include the Intel compiler in the list of supported
compilers?

- I use Delaunay triangulations and alpha shapes with very large sets of
points (more than one million points), and my code would greatly profit from
a parallel implementation of the triangulation methods (with OpenMP and/or
MPI). The paper by Batista et al. "Parallel Multi-Core Geometric Algorithms
in CGAL" discusses some methods that should be implemented in a parallel mode
for CGAL: are there plans for a future release?

Thank you.

Best wishes,
Edoardo Milotti
