At the moment, yes.

Note that if they are in the default locations, you can just have:

   using msvc : 6.0 ;
   using msvc : 7.1 ;

You need to either say (if I have this correct), the verbose:

   bjam --v2 toolset=msvc toolset:version=6.0

Or, with V2 you can say this more simply as:

   bjam --v2 msvc-6.0
