That patch is entirely reasonable, but Yon's is better - rather than  
making SGAtomic use some OpenThreads primitives, it just delegates the  
entire atomic int handling (policy and platform decisions included!)  
to OpenThread's own atomic class.

Of course, Yon's patch only changes SGReferenced, but that's the key  
user (in terms of performance and memory impact) for SGAtomic.
