Well the only immediate way I can think of handling this is to add a 
define in the versioned toolsets that the auto-link can use as a flag to 
include, or not, a version with the toolset.

For example in the intel-win32-8.0-tools.jam we could add:

flags intel-win32-8.0 CFLAGS : -DBOOST_VERSIONED_TOOLSET=1 ;

** of course picking a good name would be nice ;-)
