[vtk-developers] Windows XP support....

[Sujin Philip]

The code is intended to work on 32 bit PPCs and Windows XP, though using
the slower mutexes instead of atomic variables. There is an error in
testing for atomic operations support (false positives) which is causing
the current failures. I am working on a fix.

Thanks
Sujin
