I believe you need to put it somewhere on top in migration section: "Here is 
how you invoke msvc version 7.1 ....".

Can I avoid doing first and only do second?

using gcc : mingw : /path/to/mingw/g++ ;

And invoke it like this:

bjam toolset=gcc-mingw

While

bjam toolset=gcc-mingw

will still invoke one in a PATH (which is cygwin)

IMO c++-compile-command is misleading. What you are looking for is "path to 
the compiler executable"

Here is what I added to the user-config:

using intel-win : 9.0 : 
"C:\Compilers\Intel9.0\Compiler\C++\9.0\IA32\Bin\icl.exe" ;

bjam how doing something weird:

bjam -d +2 toolset=intel-9.0
