How to handle the compilation step for end users.

[101001000]

Intel provides a oneAPI compiler installation which could reduce friction on the installation for render users. Codeplay also provides a plugin for that installation to work with CUDA.

This compiler is the LLVM SCYL implementation I'm using right now, but with some proprietary Intel features, so maybe it's possible to use it instead distributing Clang directly.

That been said, after some preliminary tests, I wasn't able to compile Boost::log with icx neither with dpcpp by using only the -fsycl tag.

By using the flag -fsycl-targets=nvptx64-nvidia-cuda, I get an error of not being able to generate LLVM bytecode for that target because proprietary optimizations are enabled

I'm writing this issue for remembering the future me about this when I try to pack the first release.
