[Boost-users] Boost 1.32.0 and VS.NET 2005 under AMD64

There exist a few problems when trying to compile Boost 1.32.0 under AMD64 
with VS.NET 2005:

* No toolset exists to compile Boost 1.32.0 native on the AMD64 platform 
(no cross compile). The attached file vc-8_0-amd64-tools.jam fixes that.
* InterlockedExchange() in line 44 of lwm_win32.hpp collides with a macro 
of the same name in WinBase.h

One finds in WinBase.h:

        #elif defined(_M_AMD64) && !defined(RC_INVOKED)
        ...
        #define InterlockedExchange _InterlockedExchange

I changed the name of Boost's function to InterlockedExchangeBoost() to 
avoid this problem.

* No type long_type exists when compiling with the Microsoft Compiler. The 
64Bit part in lwm_win32.hpp seems to have been written for the Intel 
Compiler. An additional #ifdef now checks if the 64Bit compiler is from 
Intel or Microsoft.

The InterlockedExchange() and long_type issues are fixed by 
boost_1_32_0-AMD64.patch.

Maybe these changes can be integrated in some form in the next version of 
Boost.

Best regards, Peter.
