                     in my opinion.  That said, I am not going to be the
                     one spending time on this, since asm on various
                     processors isn't really my game)
  +          Jim     (who thinks we'll need to reformat this vote) Any time
  +                  you make use of processor specific code for optimizations
  +                  or capability, you run into portability concerns. The
  +                  real option is to make atomics a compile-time option.
  +                  YES means you use the atomics code, based on the *build*
  +                  machine (and therefore carries some dependencies) or
  +                  NO which maintains "universal" portabiity.
         -1: IanH I don't agree. I think APR is the perfect place this kind of thing. 
                     For platforms that support it is a big win, for ones which don't
                     they are no worse off than the alternative.
