Comment:

 I closing this, because it's basically unfixable as suggested:

 1) Boost.Build's command line won't allow you to specify a
 specific/different build property for each toolset anyway (actually there
 is a way, but it's undocumented and only semi-works).  So there's nothing
 in the Jamfile I can do to handle multiple toolsets differently.

 2) There is also a simple method that works right now, without any
 intervention from me - for the tester to modify their user-config.jam to
 add the necessary -I and -L options to the compiler so that ICU will be
 found and used with that toolset.  No need to set any macros on the
 command line at all then.

 I'll modify the docs to mention the latter point.
