Intel's 7.1 upgrade doesn't bump their release macro! It is still reporting 
700.

I tried to update to use Intel 7.1 with VC++ 7.1, but am getting strange 
results. The IDE integration doesn't seem to provide a way to switch to the 
Intel compiler. Boost tests are getting weird link failures. No std::endl 
for example. Either the Intel release isn't ready for VC++ 7.1 (in spite of 
claims to the contrary) or I've done something stupid.

Which VC++ version are you integrating Intel with? Have you gotten it to 
work with VC++ 7.1?

Also, your setup is confusing the bjam automatic version deduction. As Dave 
just replied to someone else:
