To partly answer my own question: bjam is passing -Qvc8 to the intel 
compiler, which leads to the obvious question: "Why?"  If I don't specify an 
explicit vc-version in user-config.jam then I should get the compiler's 
default setting.

Trying to use both:

using intel-win : 9 : "c:/program 
files/intel/compiler/c++/9.1/ia32/bin/icl.exe" : native ;

and

using intel-win : 9 : "c:/program 
files/intel/compiler/c++/9.1/ia32/bin/icl.exe" : vc7.1 ;

In user-config.jam had no effect, the same command line, with -Qvc8 was 
still invoked.

So how is this supposed to work, and can we have some docs please ?

Many thanks, John.
