I'm not really interested in the signals/slots implementation or the 
reactor, but I'm very interested in an implementation of the C++0x 
standard atomics.  I encourage you to split the atomics from the other 
parts of the library, since they will be useful in many more contexts 
(including other Boost libraries).
