Me again,

So, if I change lockfree/test/Jamfile.v2
-        <library>../../test/build//boost_test_exec_monitor
+        <library>../../test/build//boost_unit_test_framework

I can compile it with C++11 support without any issue:

../../../b2 -j8 toolset=clang cxxflags="-stdlib=libc++ -std=c++11" 
linkflags="-stdlib=libc++"

I cannot compile it though without C++11 support for 2 reasons:
- in lockfree commit 9f52c24 unconditionally uses <atomic>, but this one 
is available only with C++11 support
- in boost.test, references to C++11 jargon.

For boost.test, Gennadiy and me have to come up with a solution.

Best,
Raffi
