Details

The PR_ATOMIC_SET macros require different types of variables (some want volatile, some don't) on various platforms. This makes the macros unusable, and forces anyone who wants to use atomic set to use the functions. Ideally, we should have a new type added that lets us use the right type automagically (like PRAtomicInt32 perhaps?)
