The command line should be:

bjam --toolset=intel --with-regex -sICU_PATH=/cygdrive/c/home/gejuan/ICU/icu4c-3_8_1-src/icu/source 
 --build-type=complete stage

i.e. -sHAVE_ICU isn't required if you've already set ICU_PATH.

Also I notice your ICU path is part of cygwin?  ICU would need to have been 
built with either the Intel or MSVC compilers in order to be link-compatible 
with an Intel Boost build (I believe IBM have MSVC precompiled binaries 
available on their ICU website).

BTW the command line you tried should also work, and does with 1.36 and 
current Trunk.

HTH, John.
