Summary: InterlockedIncrement() WinAPI prototype missing volatile

Initial Comment:
The prototypes of the WinAPIs InterlockedIncrement(),  InterlockedDecrement() and InterlockedExchange() (and possibly others) in winbase.h are declared without the 'volatile' modifier, whereas in MSDN documentation they are volatile. This can cause compilation problems, and workarounds ignoring 'volatile' can potentially be dangerous
