Changes for 1.9.98 (7th June 2010)

Summary:

* added range overload of stlsoft::read_line(), so can read lines from an iterator range
* added nullptr (C++0x) support for VC++ 10
* added swap() method to stlsoft::basic_shim_string
* added 3, 4, 5, and 6-split overloads to stlsoft::split()
* added sized-string ctor, data() and size() methods, and string access shims (to simplify xTests-based unit-testing, if nothing else) to stlsoft::exception_string
* added VARIANT_BOOL overload to comstl::method_cast()
* added platformstl::file_lines empty() method
* separated PlatformSTL's atomic types into separate file platformstl/synch/atomic_types.h
* separated UNIXSTL's atomic types into separate file unixstl/synch/atomic_types.h
* separated WinSTL's atomic types into separate file winstl/synch/atomic_types.h
* fixed winstl::memory_mapped_file to handle case where an offset is specified but there are 0 remaining bytes in the file to be mapped at that location: constructs an instance with 0 size
* fixed potential memory leak of format-message-string if windows_exception creation throws an exception
* moved COMSTL_CCH_GUID to comstl/comstl.h from comstl/shims/access/string/guid.hpp
* adjusted winstl::drophandle_sequence for Win64 compatibility
* adjusted winstl::version_info for Win64 compatibility
* various components no longer rely on operator += of exception_string type, in preparation for 1.10 versions
