Intel 9.0 on windows

There's very old issue:

	http://svn
.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/418

asking for support of Intel 9.0 on windows. I suspect we
already support it, but can somebody confirm that?

Thanks,
Volodya

I regularly use Intel 9.1 and 10.0 with bjam, so yes it
works already.

I'm not sure about what happens if you don't configure the
toolset in 
user-config.jam though: do we have auto-configuration if the
user just wants 
to use --toolset=intel at installation time?

Excellent.

The auto-configuration will trigger for all toolsets, but
it's not always performs
ideally. In case of intel-win, you are required to have
'icc.exe' in
your PATH, the standard locations, whatever that might be,
are not searched.

If you know the standard locations to search in, or registry
keys
to consult, and can test any future auto-detection code,
feel free to create issue
at http://zigzag.cs.

Hmm, I just tried this and it didn't work: the command line
invoked didn't 
contain the compiler at all!  This leads to a few douzen
message boxes 
opening up complaining that cmd.exe doesn't know what
program to use you 
open a ".rsp" file :-(

I suspect there is some macro that needs to be defined
somewhere?
