i've been using boost.atomic in my lockfree library. from my experience, it is 
well designed, but it would benefit from some contributions to support more 
platforms. there is some fallback code using a spinlock pool, but native atomics 
for compilers other than gcc are still missing.
so it would be great if people, who are using unsupported compilers could 
contribute some implementations ...
