Off the top of my head, and assuming that you by "platform" refer to the 
toolset, something like the following should work:

project
  : requirements
  <toolset>msvc:<asynch-exceptions>on
  ...
  ;

If you really need to do this based by platform as well (which shouldn't be 
needed in this case):

project
  : requirements
  <os>NT,<toolset>msvc:<asynch-exceptions>on
  ...
  ;
