Support for Intel compilers was intended to be included in configure for
CCP4 4.2 however time constraints meant that it was omitted. The options
will be included in a patch release (4.2.1) which should be made next
month, apologies for the delay.

I'm afraid I can't comment on the relative merits of the precompiled
binaries versus building the suite yourself, beyond the rather obvious
point that build-it-yourself gives you the option of customising the
suite e.g. by choice of optimisation etc. Whether one sees this as an
advantage or as a drawback depends on one's opinion of the CCP4 build
procedure ... ;-)

Hope this helps, best wishes

Peter.
