Standard identification of compilers?

I think your suggestion needs some modification... The test shown will generate
a syntax error no matter what __COMPILER__ is defined to (an integer constant
expression is expected).

You might just compile a list of what the different vendors use for 
identification.  Zortech uses __ZTC__ which expands to the version number in
hex.  For example: version 2.18 would have __ZTC__ equal to 0x218.
