The icl compiler in oneAPI is supported on Windows, but you need a 
toolset definition for it. The new icx compiler is not supported yet 
AFAIK, although Rene has said he will be working on it. My toolset looks 
like:

using intel : 2021.1 :
     :
     <compatibility>vc14.2
     <root>"$(TSE_INTELWIN_DRIVE)/Utilities/Intel/oneAPI"
     <rewrite-setup-scripts>off
     <cxxflags>"/Qdiag-disable:2415,367,3280,177"
     <cxxflags>"/Zc:__cplusplus"
     ;
