Hmmm, works for me with Intel-8.1 and 9.0.  I notice from your message above 
that you're building with cygwin: it's best to use a regular windows build 
of bjam and *not* a cygwin build, otherwise all the path names get messed 
up.  The windows build of bjam works well if you're building with cygwin gcc 
as well BTW.  So the first thing to check is that you aren't using a cygwin 
build of bjam?

Then if all else fails, try putting a copy of user-config.jam (found in 
tools/build/v2) in your cygwin home directory, then edit it to set up the 
paths to your Intel compiler using something like:

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

After which you don't need the --toolset argument to bjam anymore, just do 
a:

bjam intel install

and hopefully something useful will happen :-)

HTH, John.
