I doesn't see the point yet. In the your checked in file there is something
like:

namespace boost
{
namespace detail
{
namespace winapi
{
...

extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) long_type __stdcall
InterlockedIncrement(long_type volatile *);
extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) long_type __stdcall
InterlockedDecrement(long_type volatile *);
extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) long_type __stdcall
InterlockedExchange(long_type volatile *, long_type);
}}}

To make it run, this declarations has to be outside boost::detail::winapi
(My proposed solution isn't probably the best to achive this.).

When the volatile is a problem, I can't see why it's only a problem when the
functions are declared global.
