This is not exactly about building with ICC, but maybe somebody would
like this hint:

I managed to build boost 1.48.0 with ICU 4.8.1.1 adding this to bjam
build command:

-sHAVE_ICU=1 -sICU_PATH=path_to_the_ICU_dir
-sICU_LINK="-L%ICU_PATH%/lib -licuuc48 -licuin48 -licudt48"

(-sICU_LINK="-L$ICU_PATH/lib -licuuc48 -licuin48 -licudt48" for
crosscompiling on Linux)

This allows bjam to compile ICU correctly and works for all Windows
target OS configurations.

As a fact, I succeeded to build boost 1.48.0 with ICU 4.8.1.1 on
Windows with msvc-10.0, mingw and also mingw crosscompiled on Linux
for Windows target-os. That works. I think, that must do with ICC as
well.

Little note: in MinGW configurations threading=multi is needed, due to
a bug in configuring scripts, that was written about in "Trouble
building boost-1.48.0 with mingw 4.5.2" theme.
