(unknown charset) AMBER: icc 8.0 built antechamber

Hello,

When antechamber is built with icc 8.0 on xeon linux platforms
various options of invoked commands, such as atomtype or prepgen,
or titles in generated files can be garbled; see below for an example.
These problems do not occur with other compilers,
such as gcc 3.2.2 or icc 7.1, and they can be detected by running the tests.

An amber-side patch for this is to change
the passing of large structures from by value to by reference.
However, note that unlimiting the stacksize does not fix the problem.
Since the configuration files produced by configure for such platforms
use gcc and because the number of source file changes is large,
a bugfix will probably not be distributed.

Platforms that do use icc in configuration files produced by configure,
such as sgi_altix, have not been investigated by me, but I am not
aware of any reports of problems.
