I have never tested it with mingw, and I think that there might be
some problems with exception
handling (not sure, It might depend a lot on what type of exception
handling strategy is being
used by mingw: I know that for a while it has used the unwind table
based approach and now it
has switched back to a windows compatible one).

Yes, I'm slowly working on it on a branch. Currently I'm simplifying
the implementation, but hopefully the interface will
remain mostly the same (no symmetric coroutines, though).

I do not have access to a windows platform currently, so I do not know
how soon I can get Boost.Coroutine to compile
on VC++ 9.0. I'll try to set my self up on windows again soon. If you
want to help me in the meantime, you are wellcome :)
