Don't use a compiler that hasn't been released yet :-)

OK back in the real world, I've just patched boost.config to support VC7.1,
but only on the RC_1_29_0 branch - I assume that the changes will be merged
back into the main trunk after release?  I admit I haven't tested
boost.python with that compiler, but pretty well everything else passes ...
