You don't need to be an expert ;-) The init rule is what gets called 
when you do "using intel-win ;" in your user-config.jam. And the 
arguments map directly to the ones you pass into the "using" (minus the 
toolset since it already has that). So you might add <compatibility>vc6 
to the fourth argument.
