Please test pending bugfix release of base |

It's long enough now since the last release that I'd like to make a bugfix
release of the base library (going from 1.22.0 to 1.22.1).
This release is mostly for portability issues, but there are fixes to atomic
operations used for retain/release safety, which would be important to threaded
software, so we really should make a release for tis alone.
The idea is not to add any new features, just to make things even more reliable
and portable.
Please could people (especially those with unusual hardware and/or obscure/old
operating systems) give this a try so we can make this release as portable and
reliable as possible.
You can get hold of the pre-release code using subversion from
svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/base/branches/stable
If there is anyone who really can't use subversion but would like to try this,
please let me know and I'll send you a .tar.gz archive of the source (approx
3MB email).
