I'm sorry, but I have no plans to make them public, because that would 
create a maintenance job that I'm not able to do (I have nearly no idea 
about atomic operations and the library just implement some basic 
operations) and I know there are efforts to create an atomic operations 
library for Boost. Specially when atomic functions are going to be 
present in C++0x. However, I have no plans to change those functions at 
all, so I think you can use them safely until some official Boost 
library comes.
