Yep, it's bug report already: http://zigzag.cs.msu.su/boost.build/ticket/137

It does work if you add an entry for intel to a user-config.jam in your HOME 
directory, mine looks like:

using intel-win : 9.1 : "c:/program 
files/intel/compiler/c++/9.1/ia32/bin/icl.exe" ;
using intel-win : 10.0 : "c:/program 
files/intel/compiler/c++/10.0.025/ia32/bin/icl.exe" ;
using intel-win : 8.1 : "c:/program 
files/intel/cpp/compiler80/ia32/bin/icl.exe"  ;
#using intel-win : 7 : "c:/program 
files/intel/cpp/compiler70/ia32/bin/icl.exe" ;
#using intel-win : 6 : "c:/program 
files/intel/cpp/compiler60/ia32/bin/icl.exe" ;

See the Boost.Build docs for more info on setting this up.  And of course in 
most cases you can always build the source from your IDE should you prefer 
:-)

HTH, John.
