It's not bjam -- the right declarations can be accessed from <windows.h> 
-- but they're hidden unless you write:

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0400

before that #include. Please see the boost-coroutine2.patch attachment, 
notably for boost/coroutine/detail/context_windows.hpp, late in this thread:

I'm not yet using it in production code -- but I intend to. The mail 
thread cited above mentions that I was able to run one of the example 
programs on Windows XP Pro, Mac OS X 10.5, 32-bit Debian sarge and 
64-bit Debian etch.
