Threads Library

Atomic operations (atomic_add, atomic_subtract etc) are not handled in the
Boost Threads library.  My guess is that this is because this cannot be
accomplished, based on what I know about this topic (which isn't too much),
in a portable way.  Is this the reason?  If not, having these operations in
the Threads library would be a big benefit.

Thanks,
Brian
