the preprocessor check is for the c++11 standard. the tests require an
implementation of atomic<>, as i don't want to show implementation
details in the examples. c++11-compliant compilers will provide a
correct implementation of <atomic>, but most implementations that i have
seen are not complete yet.
once boost.atomic is merged, i will use that instead, but until then,
the examples are more for reading than for compiling on your favorite
compiler.

cheers, tim
