Comment (by anonymous):

 There's no mechanism by which a user can invoke bjam with more than one
 toolset *and* different build options for each toolset.

 So since the user would have to inform the regex Jamfile where each set of
 ICU binaries was (ie a different set of binaries for each toolset), it's
 basically impossible to support building with multiple toolsets, all with
 different ICU versions.  Except of course, if they add the necessary
 options to their toolset configurations in user-config.jam when it just
 works as is anyway.

 Not sure if that's any clearer ;)
