What do you mean by compile-fail? Do you want to test that the test fails to compile with msvc-7.1?
I tried to use a separate begin_end-cf target for this, but I didn't succeed in excluding it from build for the non msvc-7.1 toolsets.

The attached patch excludes the begin_end test from build for the msvc-7.1 toolset.
