Sure, but the easy way is just to rename the toolset files. But seriously, you really are comfortable with the underscore?
Yes, as an underscore is commonly seen in identifiers throughout boost, stl and C++ for that matter. I (perhaps incorrectly?) view vc6_5, vc7_0, vc7_1 as identifiers in this context as well. Pressing a few extra shift keys once every 4-6 months when installing a new version of boost seems like little overhead to me. ;-)
It just seems like a silly opportunity for confusion to use underscores when we can easily use dots. Nobody says "I'm using Visual C++ 6_5."
Well, I can be happy with vc6.5, vc7.0 and vc7.1 too. My main dislike is the use of '-' in the name. Jeff
