Though I'm thinking of not distributing the windows stuff.  I
was converting the interlocked stuff to inline functions and
realized that vc++ will optimize across inline assembler unless
you use *all* of the registers.  That means that all your syncrhonization
primatives have to be external functions and compiled separately.  That
includes memory barriers even.

Too many hassles with windows and no benefits.

The RCU stuff will get delayed also.  I took a quick lock and
realized that the code is two versions of RCU together.  It
includes the lock-free combining tree version which I don't
want to distribute at this time.  So I have to remove all that
code and retest it.

And it appears that I can get away with just including the open source
license as a separate text file and not have anything in the source
files at all, not even a copyright notice.  We'll see how many hissy
fits that causes. :)
