#1069: _InterlockedExchange, _InterlockedExchangeAdd have wrong signature

Comment (by pdimov):
The Microsoft documentation is wrong in this case. If we change the code
to be wrong as well, the signatures will no longer match the ones in
<windows.h>. The documentation for !InterlockedExchange
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms683590.aspx
correctly specifies the signature as taking LONG volatile*. BTW, you can't
declare a function parameter as long * volatile, the volatile is ignored.
