I've been very pleased with your coroutine library for some time.  I liked
the complete documentation.  I aways wondered why it wasn't reviewed
and accepted into boost.  For my own purposes I made a couple of
tweaks which made it header only - when helped me a lot.

I looked over the documentation of this library. My question is: what is the
relationship between this library and your coroutine library.  Would this
be a lower level component of the coroutine library.  What are the future
plans for the coroutine library - if any. I had presumed you just lost
interest in persuing a boost revew and just dropped of the map, Now
I see you're handling the review for this component.  Is there any
back story here?

Downloading from the git repo - clicking on the link - in the documentation
didn't work for me.  Is there alternative way to get the source to have 
look?

I was curious to know whether there is a good reason for not making
it header only.
