FYI, gcc 4.4 has <cstdatomic> instead of <atomic> with the same contents. I
don't know about other compilers, maybe there are other similar cases. So we
may be better have <boost/atomic.hpp> which defines the macro or includes the
appropriate compiler header otherwise. Or perhaps this is the Boost.Atomic
job.
