Sure... I'll make the change.

No. The "case *" part handles the generic case of using the short "iw" name:
             case * :
             toolset-tag += [ MATCH "^([^-]*)" : $(toolset) ] ;

It's this part further down in toolset::requirements rule:

         case intel-win32* :
         {
             # dynamic runtime only comes in the multi-threading flavor
             if <runtime-link>dynamic in $(properties) { requirements += 
<threading>multi ; }
         }

Yes that name would work without changes.

I'll make the changes now... OK done.
