[boost] [atomic_count] Different behaviour on different platforms

Hi all,

Is there a rational for the different behavior (signature) of the
atomic_count::operator++()? 

This operator returns long (the new value) on Win32 and Solaris, but has no
return type (void) on pthread and gcc based systems.

Regards Hartmut
