The reverse, actually. You first add the header to Boost.Atomic (as is, 
without modifications). The link in boost/ will then point to one of the 
copies, but it doesn't matter which, as they are identical, so nothing will 
break.

I will then remove it from SmartPtr. The link in boost/ will then be 
rerouted to the Boost.Atomic header and you can proceed with the changes. I 
will take care of the SmartPtr side.

If you want to preserve history when adding the file to Boost.Atomic, the 
procedure is slightly more complicated:
