Well, that's the problem.  The intel compiler on windows isn't called
icc.exe, it's called icl.exe (and has been for quite some time...at
least 9.0 onwards, and I think 8.0 as well).

Now I have a new problem.  Something in the build process is trying to run:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall"

But VS8 isn't actually a 64-bit application (even though it can build
64-bit object code), so it's not located in C:\Program Files (which is
reserved for 64-bit native apps).  VS8 is installed in "C:\Program
Files(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8".  Where can I edit to tell
boost.build where this file really is?
