You can do this in your user-config.jam:

   using msvc : 7.1 ;
   using msvc : 7.1nm : : <compiler>nmcl.exe <linker>nmlink.exe ;

and then:

   bjam msvc-7.1

for when not using the nm wrapper, and:

   bjam msvc-7.1nm

for when you do. You could also have the stlfilt wrappers:

   using msvc : 7.1filt : : ... ;

NOTE: There is no - between the version number and the text and that the text appears after the version. These are due to the way that bjam processes build options in the first case and identifies compiler versions in the second.
