[boost] [interprocess] Interprocess build fails on 64-bit MSVC 8

On a 64-bit build on MSVC 8 (CL 14.00.50727.762 for x64) with Boost CVS 
2007-06-03, building a program that uses Boost.Interprocess fails. 
Please see the attachment at the end of the message for the compiler output.

The problem is in rbtree_best_fit::SizeHolder:
 > unsigned m_prev_size :  sizeof(std::size_t)*CHAR_BIT - 1;

'unsigned' which is 32-bit is not large enough to hold a 64-bit size_t. 
  If I change 'unsigned' to 'std::size_t' compile is successful without 
any other errors.

When linking, I get:

aaron.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol 
__imp_InterlockedCompareExchange referenced in function "long __cdecl 
boost::interprocess::winapi::interlocked_compare_exchange(long volatile 
*,long,long)" 
(?interlocked_compare_exchange_at_winapi@interprocess_at_boost@@YAJPECJJJ_at_Z)

I was able to fix this by using BOOST_INTERLOCKED_COMPARE_EXCHANGE 
instead of InterlockedCompareExchange in 
winapi::interlocked_compare_exchange() in w32_api.h.  I had to make a 
similar translation for InterlockedExchange.

With these changes, it appears to compile and link.  I can't guarantee 
yet that it actually works, though.
