The right syntax is 

  <toolset>vc-7.1:<rtti>off

not

  <toolset>vc-7_1:<rtti>off

The change from dot to underscore happened at the last moment during 1.32
preparation because in V1, version names are encoded in toolset filenames,
and ISO filesystem does not allow too many dots. In V2, we're still using
dot.

Also, for the above to work, you need to configure msvc with:

  using msvc : 7.1 ;

not with just

  using msvc ;

Otherwise, V2 won't know what version you're using.
