Heh. There is a Boost.Coroutine in the Vault, but you're better
advised to use the new Boost.Coroutine just coming up for review this
week (I believe).

IMO, either would be better than directly using Boost.Context. Context
is a low-level library intended for use by application-level libraries
such as Coroutine. It's just that any application-level library based
on user-space context switching necessarily deals with the same
platform-dependent issues; Oliver Kowalke has very usefully abstracted
those out as Context.

Now Oliver has presented us with a reimplementation of the original
Boost.Coroutine prototype (in the Vault), based on his Context
library. If you're willing, it would be very timely to add your
opinion to the review about to be announced.
