Hello

I tried upgrading from 1.55 to 1.56 and got a linking error.

I am using mingw32-gcc-4.7.2 on windows 7. I compiled boost with "b2
toolset=gcc stage release -j8 --build-type=complete link=static
threading=multi variant=release"

..\..\..\lib/libPrimeGameEngineRelease.a(GameEngine.o):GameEngine.cpp:(.text$_ZN5boost6detail5win3223GetTickCount64emulationEv+0x27):
undefined reference to `_InterlockedCompareExchange'
..\..\..\lib/libPrimeGameEngineRelease.a(GameEngine.o):GameEngine.cpp:(.text$_ZN5boost6detail5win3223GetTickCount64emulationEv+0x87):
undefined reference to `_InterlockedCompareExchange'
