Excellent.

The auto-configuration will trigger for all toolsets, but it's not always performs
ideally. In case of intel-win, you are required to have 'icc.exe' in
your PATH, the standard locations, whatever that might be, are not searched.

If you know the standard locations to search in, or registry keys
to consult, and can test any future auto-detection code, feel free to create issue
