Guess my questions were too simple so experts here do not even bother to 
answer. :-)
After muddling through msvc.jam, I finally realized that I need explicitly 
pass <setup> to msvc.init. Now I'm able to create more accurate toolset 
names.
Intel-win.jam is straightforward to setup but looks like there is not an 
easy way to specify VC compatibility mode. I tried to use <compatibility> 
but looks like it really needs something called base-vc. Another problem I 
ran into is I do not know how to remove or overwrite the following flags 
inherited from msvc (intel does not recognize these options):
flags msvc.compile CFLAGS $(cpu-arch-amd64)/<instruction-set> : /favor:blend 
;

flags msvc.compile CFLAGS 
$(cpu-arch-amd64)/<instruction-set>$(cpu-type-em64t) : /favor:EM64T ;

flags msvc.compile CFLAGS 
$(cpu-arch-amd64)/<instruction-set>$(cpu-type-amd64) : /favor:AMD64 ;

Thanks,
