Old 8-sp Shimano XT M-737 Disc-brake compatible?

I'm rebuilding my older mountain bike and am thinking of switching from
canti's to discs, since I'm moving to a new set of wheels in the process.

Does anyone know if this series of shifters has enough pull for something
like the Avid BB7 mechanical discs? Or would I need to use the road version
of the brake?
I'd rather use the mountain version if possible, in case I upgrade my
shifters at a later date.

Thanks,
