Hello,

First of all I would like to thank for the comments that I have received so 
far, I have incorporated almost all of them I think. Boost.Atomic is now in a 
form that I consider calling it a release. It has support for "true" atomic 
variables on:

- gcc/x86, 32-bit (tested on Linux, FreeBSD)
- gcc/x86, 64-bit (tested on Linux)
- gcc/powerpc32 (tested on Linux, Mac OS X)
- gcc/powerpc64 (untested)
- generic Win32 (tested with Visual Studio Express on Win XP)

For all others it falls back gracefully to locked operation. There is proper 
quickbook documentation, including a hopefully illustrative example section. 
If you have an unsupported platform, contact me and I will attempt to provide 
support for it (usually it is just a matter of testing).

Otherwise I would like to request considering the library for inclusion and 
appreciate any further comments. Everything available as usual at:

Best regards
Helge
