boost.lockfree is now in trunk and it passes the tests on most supported platforms. atm it includes a private copy of boost.atomic, which will be removed once boost.atomic is merged (helge wanted to do it quite soon) ... there are still some test failures on win32, but i think i found the reason and fixed the tests (btw it is rather time consuming to work with the test farm as the win32 tests are only run about once a week).
Yes, that's a real pain. I don't use windows much so it causes me problems as well.
iac, the deadline for new libraries in 1.51 is today, but from my side, boost.lockfree could be included as it is now. however if the release managers consider it as too late, i'm don't have a problem with waiting for another release cycle ...
It feels a little late to me, we normally try to sort out documentation, inspect errors etc. before merging. But see what the other release managers think.
