BCB5 support in release 1.3.0

[Bernd Dongus <be...@brainag.com>]

Hello.

I don't know if other compilers allow the passing of "toFill" without
typecasting. BCB5 doesn't. I had to change the following passage to get it
compiled.

Changes in Win32PlatformUtils.cpp

// --- start
     #ifdef __BORLANDC__
     return (long *)::InterlockedCompareExchange
     (
          (long*)toFill
          , (long)newValue
          , (long)toCompare
     );
     #else
// --- stop

    return ::InterlockedCompareExchange
    (
        toFill
        , (void*)newValue
        , (void*)toCompare
    );
// --- start

    #endif
// --- stop

    #endif

Maybe this should be checked by a project member.

Regards,
Bernd

Different compilers surface different prototypes for that API. Its kind of
unfortunate. It seems like MS is also moving towards the 'long' version, I
think, but for now its still the void pointer type in VC++ 6.0.
