I think having a coroutine lib within boost would be really nice.

However I think it should not have an explicit dependancy on boost::thread,
rather it should be regarded an alternative means of concurrency.

It might e.g. implemented on terms of the "fiber" API that is available 
on some
operating systems.

Having such a library would not only allow "program reuse" of original 
poster,
but also be applicable to write iterators in terms of coroutines.
