Could you elaborate? I happen to work on precisely that at the moment. The current behaviour is pretty similar to V1. You get one path component for base toolset ("iw") and one path component for version ("8.0", "8.1", you name it). The only difference from V1 is that there's only one toolset description file, and versions are specified in user's 'user-config.jam'.
The main problem I see is that there are two compilers involved each of which has to be configured. In theory it's possible to combine each version of Intel compiler 6-8 with each version of VC 6-7.1. These sets create dependencies that are not handled perfectly at the moment IMO. Furthermore, (when the other problems are solved) there should also be a toolset for Intel+STLPort (...which I tried to write for 1.32 but I gave up due to lack of time).
If you can say what changes to the scheme are necessary, I sure they can be quickly implemented.
I can't list many details at the moment, I've to look into it myself again. Stefan
